Kicking off the final week of European judging sessions, The Immortal Awards hosted a Spanish jury for the first time ever on Monday 16th October.
The Spain-based jurors were tasked with selecting the market’s inaugural Finalists, cementing their status as the best projects from Spain in the past year and sending them through to the regional European round of judging on Friday 20th October.
A shortlist of 18 projects, which scored highest in the first round of online judging, was slimmed down to a grand total of seven which received Finalist status.
The Immortal Awards 2023 Spain Finalists are:

The seven projects will go up against the Finalists from the other European jury days - including the UK, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, the Nordics and Germany - as well as the best work from around the region at the European round of judging on Friday 20th October. They’ll be competing for a place in the final, global round of judging and ultimately a chance at winning an Immortal Award.
