Across three continents, the hosts are Hugh Fitzhardinge, Creative Director, Ward6 Sydney, Australia judging on 18 September, Shaheed Peera, Executive Creative Director EU, Publicis LifeBrands Resolute London, UK on 23 September and in Chicago on 24 September, Robin Shapiro, President and Chief Creative Officer, CAHG New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
Judging sessions will also take place online, allowing entries to be viewed comprehensively by an international jury from regions with both established and growing healthcare markets. The annual live sessions allow jurors to examine in detail multi-paged works including sales kits, direct mail, brochures, point of purchase displays and annual reports, and select entries that will achieve Shortlist status.
Fitzhardinge commented, "We are delighted to host the 2015 Global Awards live session in what's now a long-standing tradition 'down under'. I like to think Australia punches above its weight in healthcare advertising and it will be great to have creatives from both global networks and local independents in attendance. In a rapidly changing environment, I'll be hoping to discover some of those elusive game changing 'new' ideas that we all wish we had come up with."
"The Global Awards Executive Jury and Grand Jury of international industry experts, represent the top creative minds in the field of healthcare and wellness advertising. Our jury members are recruited from more than 20 countries on six continents," said Michael Demetriades, VP & Executive Director of the Global Awards. "This comprehensive jury selection process ensures that each entry is judged by renowned talent with global knowledge and perspective from the industry."
The Global Awards will host the 2015 Executive Jury judging session on 13 October in New York City. The 2015 Global Awards will honour award winners on 3 December 2015 at celebrations held in both New York City and Sydney, Australia. For more information, go to www.theglobalawards.com.
