The North American leg of judging at this year’s Immortal Awards has concluded with seven projects receiving Finalist status and reaching the final, global round of judging.
Hosted in partnership with Whitehouse Post, the regional round of judging saw the seven Canadian and 11 US Finalists come together to form a North American shortlist.
Jurors from both markets worked together to decide which projects, if any, were to receive Finalist status as the best of North American creativity and qualify for the final, global round of judging.
The jury deliberated over the projects and, ultimately, seven of them were identified and championed as the best of the region’s commercial creativity from the past year.
They will now compete alongside the best work from the other regions for an Immortal Award or Commendation.
