The duties of jury president were shared by Brett Morris, CEO of FCB and Fiona O’Connor, joint-ECD of host agency Havas Johannesburg.

Today’s judging was interesting due to a considerable amount of blurring between traditionally clear categories which are no longer as defined as they used to be. The debate around what fits where in today’s creative categories was really lively and left the panel with something to think about regarding the future of judging for industry awards. – O’Connor

The jury constituted a combination of senior and junior creatives from Creative Circle member agencies, allowing the judging process to act as an all-important training ground for up-and-coming South African creatives.

• Tim Bekerling, Creative Director, Net#work BBDO
  
• Estee Grobler, senior creative, Etiket
  
• Reece Iver, creative group head: Art Direction, The Niche Guys
  
• Assaf Levy, creative director, Joe Public
  
• Ronald Mabe, art director, M&C Saatchi Abel Johannesburg
  
• Alettie Marx, creative head, JWT Johannesburg
  
• Palesa Motiki, copywriter, Ogilvy Johannesburg
  
• Grant Sithole, chief creative officer, Avatar
  
• Nikki Taylor, creative director, TBWA Hunt Lascaris Johannesburg
  
• Maxine Twaddle, copywriter, Grey
