The Gerety Awards has unveiled the full Global Executive Jury for its 2026 edition, bringing together a diverse group of creative leaders from across the international communications industry.
Following the earlier announcement of jury presidents and judging locations, the organisers confirmed that more than 260 professionals from about 50 countries will participate in the evaluation process for this year’s awards.
The jury comprises creatives, strategists, producers, filmmakers, brand leaders, and communications specialists, reflecting the wide range of expertise within the global advertising and marketing industry.
Executive judging sessions will be held in 15 cities around the world, including London, Auckland, Toronto, New York, Paris, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Dubai, Madrid, Milan, Mexico City, Bangkok, Los Angeles, Berlin, and São Paulo.
Each location will host in-person sessions where regional industry leaders will assess entries and contribute to determining the global standard of creative excellence for the year.
One of the jury presidents noted that leading the Dubai judging panel carries both professional and personal significance, emphasising the importance of bringing together talented creative leaders who are shaping the future of the industry.
She explained that the diversity of perspectives among the jurors—from different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures—will enrich discussions and strengthen the evaluation of creative work.
Beyond the judging sessions, the awards will also host a series of industry events and discussions in several cities, including London, Bangkok, New York, Berlin, Melbourne, and Paris. These events aim to encourage conversations around innovation and the evolving role of creativity in communications.
The organisers are currently accepting submissions across multiple categories, including a newly introduced category celebrating creative work that captures important cultural moments.
Entries must have been published, broadcast, or released in a commercial environment with client approval within the eligibility period specified by the organisers.
Projects will be assessed based on the originality of the creative concept and the quality of its execution.
