Chairman of the judging panel, Wayne Blodwell said about this year’s entries, “The standard of entries was exceptionally high, there is some amazing work which is really solving for advertisers’ challenges. The judging day was heated (in a fun way) and resulted in a stand-off at one point and that’s testament to the quality of the entries.”
Winners will be announced in New York City on September 21st at the Edison Ballroom.
