"NYF's widely praised jury selection process and its revolutionary matrix judging system draws participation from the world's foremost creative agencies. 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," said Michael O'Rourke, President, International Awards Group and New York Festivals.

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. These high-level creative officers will meet 25-29 April to judge the final rounds to select the World's Best Advertising.

The 30+ Executive Jury evaluates every shortlisted entry selected by the online Grand Jury. With over 400 jury members representing more than 75 countries, NYF has the largest and most diverse international jury in the world. This process, along with the patented matrix judging system, insures that each entry earning an award truly earns the World's Best Advertising bragging rights.
