New York Festivals also announced the Midas Awards has merged into the prestigious NYF Advertising Awards. Midas will be a special category group: Financial Advertising which will include all the familiar financial categories. All Midas entries will be judged by a prominent international jury under the NYF Advertising umbrella.

The Advertising Awards competition receives entries from over 60+ countries and are judged by 400+ members of NYF’s Executive and Grand Juries who collectively cast their votes to select the World’s Best Advertising.
