LONDON – The London International Awards 2017 is now officially open for entries and has a theme of “Celebrating the Power of Ideas.”
The LIA is a global festival honoring creativity and new ideas in Advertising, Production, Digital, Design, Music & Sound, Technology, and Branded Entertainment. Founded in 1986 by President Barbara Levy, the Awards began by honoring advertising in the realms of Cinema, Television, Print, and Radio, evolving since its inception into 18 unique media types. It was the first truly international advertising awards of its kind to acknowledge all media and methods from all over the world to be judged by a diverse global jury. Every member on each Jury Panel, including the Jury President, judges all entries, excluding their own work, in their respective media. Each Jury has the discretion to award a Grand LIA within the media they are judging.
Returning categories this year are LIA Awards for Billboard, Branded Entertainment, Design, Digital, Integration, Music & Sound, Music Video, Non-Traditional, Package Design, Poster, Print, Production and Post-Production, Radio and Audio, The NEW, TV/Cinema/Online Film, and Verbal Identity.
For 2017, new categories that will be included will be for Ambient, Health & Pharma, and The Influencers.
Entries submitted must be broadcast, published, or released in a commercial environment with client approval between July 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017.
