The Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association (AWARD) has announced the line-up of judges for its 36th annual AWARD awards.
AWARD is a non-profit organisation which aims to raise the standards in all creative areas.
110 creatives form Asia Pacific will be part of the jury deciding the award winners and will work under chairman of judges Dan Wieden from Wieden+Kennedy.
Chairmen judging alongside Wieden include:
Ralph Van Dijk – Eardrum
Tim Buesing – Reactive
Pat Baron - McCann
Toby Talbot – DDB Group
Cameron Blackley – BMF
Jason Little – For The People
Tom Spicer – Arnold Furnace
Michael Ritchie – Revolver
James Mok – FCB
Leon Wilson – CHE Proximity
AWARD chairman Mark Harricks said it was important to select a judging list with a mix of networks, skills and experience along with “ensuring new and fresh perspectives are introduced”.
“Working within these requirements, gender diversity has also been a key focus this year,” Harricks said.
“We have secured more than double the number of female leaders for our jury compared to last year. Obviously this still isn't the balance we are looking to achieve, but it is a positive step forward.”
