LIA announces the Jury Presidents for 2017

Cristina Blanaru Creativity, Festivals & Awards

London International Awards (LIA) has announced the names of the first jury presidents for the 2017 awards. This select group of industry leaders will preside over their respective juries in Las Vegas. Each jury peruses all entries in their respective media. They will debate and deliberate, choosing the work that will rise to the top and bring home metal.

In the business of creativity, it really is all about the people. Our jury presidents are chosen for their expertise, skill, fairness and because they’ve been the force behind award-winning work throughout their careers, regardless of gender or ethnicity (…) We are very proud to announce the names of the first jury presidents, as they are a highly recognized group of people with the ability and experience required to lead the juries in their respective disciplines.

Barbara Levy,
