The chairman of judges is Dan Wieden (Wieden+Kennedy.
In all, a total of 110 of Asia Pacific’s best creatives will help judge the 36th AWARD Award winners, with the first jury starting on 28 January.
“A lot of work goes into selecting panels with the right mix of networks, skills and experience, while ensuring new and fresh perspectives are introduced each time,” said AWARD chairman Mark Harricks,
“Working within these requirements, gender diversity has also been a key focus this year. 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.”
The annual AWARD Awards presentation will take place on Thursday 19 March 2015 at Sydney Town Hall.
