Cultural/Context information for the jury.

Ramadan, the holy month whereby Muslims across Saudi Arabia fast during day-time to purify their souls are bombarded with mouthwatering food commercials. For many Saudis this creates frustrations towards food brand.

Write a short summary of what happens in the ambient or digital execution or campaign.

Ramadan, the Holy Month that all Muslims wait for to “purify their souls” and bound to fast until the sunset. But on this occasion, the city is flooded with food images tempting the people while they are fasting. In Saudi, the culture is to pixelate everything that is tempting. So, we pixelated each food item during the day in several malls, then revealed it at night, along with the Ramadan bundle.
