It’s arguably the world leading market when it comes to commercial creativity as the home to so many huge global brands and superstar creatives. We’re so excited by the jury that we have this year and, thanks to the support of Chelsea Pictures, can’t wait to be back in New York in November to judge this all in person. The US has a history of picking up prizes at this competition so the bar is set super high for this year’s entrants!”
