2017 Specialized Pharma(Rx) and Health & Wellness Executive Juries and Grand Juries Assembled from 15 Countries on 6 Continents

New York Festivals® Global Awards℠, honoring the World’s Best Healthcare & Wellness Advertising℠, announced the 2017 Executive and Grand Juries. These prominent Chief Creative Officers, Managing Partners, EVPs, and executive creative directors from the world’s foremost healthcare advertising agencies are representative of creative leadership talent from 15 countries on 6 continents.

“For almost a quarter of a century the Global Awards has been genuinely dedicated to honoring the best work.  It’s all about the work,” said Fran Pollaro, Executive Director, Global Awards. “The 2017 Global Awards Executive and Grand Juries, an international panel of the most diverse and respected creative minds in the healthcare and wellness industry, are committed to recognizing the ground-breaking achievements of the teams of men and women who strive to raise the bar of creative communications. Our juries’ dedication and high standard of excellence has meant that the ongoing legacy of the Globals is respected around the world, both by the winners themselves and in industry reports measuring the competitive excellence of world-wide advertising and communications competitions.”

This year marks the first year that the competition has enlisted two separate and specialized Executive Juries to select those entries who will earn trophies for the 2017 competition. The recent reconfiguration of the Executive Jury divides the jury into two separate panels, Pharma(Rx) and Health & Wellness. This split ensures that each entry from each exclusive designation is judged by renowned international talent with global knowledge and perspective from the industry. The Executive Jury will review the entries that achieve finalist status as selected by the Global Awards Grand Jury.

The Global Awards Grand Jury of award-winning creatives from around the world are charged with reviewing all entries submitted to the competition via NYF’s online judging platform. Their collective votes ensure that all entries achieving finalist status and progressing to the Executive Jury judging round truly represent the World’s Best Healthcare & Wellness Advertising. To date the 2017 Grand Jury is comprised of 46 prominent creative executives and leaders from 44 world-wide agencies representing 13 countries around the globe, a truly non-partial and world-class jury.
