Not only are they both incredibly accomplished creatives, they also truly care about their ability to impact society’s overall health. As chairs, they will serve their respective juries with the goal being to stimulate a conversation around the quality of the ideas in every dimension, as well to discuss the future of our industry and how we as creative leaders intend on helping move it forward. Our intent is that the executive jury leave the judging experience FEELING CREATIVE and that they each had a voice in what world class ideas look like.”

Global Awards’ Executive Jury https://newyork-festivals.squarespace.com/new-page-2/ and Grand Jury https://newyork-festivals.squarespace.com/grand-jury/  are recruited from more than 20 countries on six continents. The Global Awards jury selection process ensures that each entry is judged by renowned international talent with global knowledge and perspective from the industry.
