SINGAPORE – Spikes Asia has today announced the names of the 98 jury members from 17 countries who will judge entries from across the Asia Pacific region, 40% of whom will be female.

The Asia Pacific region once again had notable success at Cannes Lions 2017, bringing home four Grands Prix awards at the International Festival of Creativity: Dentsu Y&R Tokyo won in Mobile for Recruit Lifestyle’s “The Family Way”; AP Thailand was awarded a Design Grand Prix for “The Unusual Football Field”, and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne took home two Grands Prix (Cyber and Health & Wellness) for the much acclaimed “Meet Graham” for the Transport Accident Commission Victoria.

Judged on a global level, the breadth and vision of the Lion-winning work from Asia Pacific at Cannes Lions ably demonstrates the rich and vibrant creative talent in the region, and we look forward to seeing more exciting work rise through the ranks at this year’s Spikes Asia Festival. We’re delighted to announce the full jury line-up. These judges represent the best industry talent across a spectrum of creativity disciplines. They’re tasked with determining the future path of creative communications, and I’m confident it’s a duty they will discharge with the rigour and passion for which the Spikes juries are famous,” said Terry Savage, Chairman of Spikes Asia.
