Leading industry experts from 20 European countries will award creative excellence and set the European benchmark for creativity

Eurobest has today announced the names of the jurors who will judge and recognise work in the 2020 awards. Now in its 32nd year, the awards – which are part of the Cannes Lions family – will honour the very diverse creative excellence in Europe.

About the jurors, Louise Benson, VP of Festivals, Eurobest, said: “As a region, Europe has a diverse mix of cultures and it’s important that we balance the make-up of our juries to reflect this. I’m happy to say that we have an equal split of 50% female and 50% male experts for the third year running, and that they are a collective of inspirational individuals from 20 different European countries. We look forward to bringing them together, albeit remotely this year, as they honour the very best creative work and set the definitive benchmark for creative excellence across Europe.”

The Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced on 7 December, followed by the Grands Prix and Special Awards winners on 10 December 2020. The Eurobest awards will also include the release of the annual European Creativity Report. The leading global resource for benchmarking creativity and effectiveness across Europe will feature official rankings, trends and jury president commentary for an in-depth look at this year’s Eurobest winners.
