"Entrants to the competition have the opportunity to have their work seen by 400+ members of the NYF’s Executive and Grand Juries, an incredible brain trust of global creative minds, who collectively cast over 300,000 votes to select the World’s Best Advertising®,” O’Rourke said.
This is the fourth year that New York Festivals will assemble an elite group of Global Chief Creative Officers from the world’s most prominent ad agencies to participate on the live Executive Jury.
