The Immortal Awards Unveils The First Wave of 2021 Jurors

The first jurors for this year’s Immortal Awards have been revealed, as the competition expands into a number of local markets around the world for 2021. 

An initial 36 jurors have been announced from all over the world. This year sees the introduction of 12 local juries fighting for the best work from their market. The work they select qualifies for its respective regional competition, going up against the best of the best from the region's other markets. 

There will be juries for the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, South Africa and Singapore, as well as a combined Australia and New Zealand jury.

Paul Monan, awards director, comments: “The introduction of local juries allows us to have the best local work judged by the best creatives from that market, who understand the cultural references, nuances and effectiveness and can then fight for it on a regional stage. This year’s jury is going to be our biggest and best yet and we’re excited to finally reveal the first wave of jurors for this year’s competitions. Over the course of the next few weeks and months, we’ll be unveiling more great global names as well as the regional and global jury line-ups.”
