New York, NY – November 13, 2012: New York Festivals International Advertising Awards® announced its Call for Entries for the 2013 competition honoring the “World’s Best Advertising®.” Based on feedback from the 2012 Executive Jury, NYF totally restructured the International Advertising Awards competitions and categories to reflect the current work being produced globally.
The International Advertising Awards competition receives entries from 70 countries and recognizes work in all media in the following competitions: Avant-Garde, Branded Entertainment, Creative Marketing Effectiveness, Design, Digital, Direct & Collateral, Film, Integrated, Outdoor, Print, Public & Media Relations, Public Service, Radio and Student.
In 2012, for the second year in a row, New York Festivals assembled an elite group of Worldwide Chief Creative Officers from the world’s most prominent ad agencies to participate on the live Executive Jury, moderated by Donald Gunn, the founder of the The Gunn Report, and Michael Conrad, president of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership. These high level creative officers gathered in one room to judge the final rounds of the NYF International Advertising Awards.
The Executive Jury evaluates each shortlisted entry selected by the online Grand Jury. The Grand Jury, comprised of 374 International Creative Directors, is the most diverse jury of any advertising competition in the world, and will select the ads that earn a place on the shortlist generated from the first two rounds of judging. The Executive Jury, comprised of 28 Worldwide Chief Creative Officers, will select ads from the shortlist during live judging sessions taking place in New York City April 27th – May 30th, 2013. This process ensures that each entry achieving Finalist status is given the hands-on attention it deserves. The 2013 Executive Jury and Grand Jury will be announced in the coming weeks.
