“The society and lifestyle found in Sri Lanka is a truly inspirational place to find creativity. Any communicator who can connect with the people through a cultural medium is still the most impactful in this day and age.

Lotus Roots is an award category unique to ADFEST created to recognise and reward work that is rooted in the rich legacies, history and traditions of local cultures in Asia.
