The Creative Circle Awards has announced the members of its 2023 juries. The Gold Juries encompass 20 different categories, focusing on all facets of the industry including film craft, music video, design and craft and photography and illustration. The juries are made up of leaders in their respective fields, tasked with selecting stand-out pieces of work from a record-breaking number of entries.
The 2023 jury members feature previous winners of Creative Circle accolades, including representatives from Uncommon, who were crowned the Most Creative Agency, and Design Bridge, who took home the award for the Most Creative Design Company at the 2022 awards.
The Creative Circle maintain their pledge towards representation and inclusion in the creative industries, with 10% of all award entry fees and 100% of membership fees going directly to the Creative Foundation charity, which has raised over £150,000 since its launch in 2017. The charity directly supports young creatives, and this year has taken its’ efforts on-the-road with their Schools Roadshow, delivered in association with The Education People.
Jeremy Green, managing director of the Creative Circle says of the impressive line-up, “The Creative Circle Awards remain steadfast in its commitment to foster equity within the creative industries. This is clearly demonstrated through the breadth of diverse talent included in our 2023 juries, who, I’m sure, will select truly exceptional and worthy winners.”
The Creative Circle Awards ceremony returns to Dreamland, Margate this year, closing the festivities of the 2023 UK Creative Festival on 13th July 2023.
