About the OBIE Awards At a time when technology is developing at a breakneck speed, this year’s OBIE winners have taken innovation to the next level. Combining cutting-edge techniques with classic creative principles, they have successfully carried out of home (OOH) advertising into a new age. The OBIE Awards are the oldest and one of the most prestigious advertising honors, presented for excellence in OOH design. The award itself is modeled after the obelisks of ancient Egypt, tall stone structures that were used to publicize laws and treaties. These impressive monuments are considered by most historians to be the world’s first true form of advertising. The Outdoor Advertising Association of America, Inc., is the national trade association for the OOH advertising industry. It is dedicated to leading and uniting a responsible OOH advertising industry committed to serving the needs of advertisers, consumers, and communities.

I chose an American painter, the late Robert Motherwell. Motherwell was known for his bold, COLLE+MCVOY billboard-sized paintings that drew you in from across the other side of a gallery. The idea of a larger-than-human-life visual envelop- ing its viewer really resonated with me.
