London International Awards (LIA) has announced the Jury Presidents for the 2019 Chinese Creativity Awards. Entering its third year, the Chinese Creativity Awards honors and celebrates creativity conceived, written and produced solely in the Chinese language. Entries are only accepted in Chinese. The work is judged in its original format as it was released in the marketplace.
This year the elite juries will have the task of choosing Gold, Silver and Bronze winners to take home the coveted Red LIA specially designed for the Chinese language market.
This year, as in past years, the Chinese Creativity juries will convene in Las Vegas alongside the LIA Global juries. All rounds of judging are done on-site at the Encore-Wynn Hotel. And every judge is required to see every piece of work in their respective media.
