“Asia Pacific’s breakthrough creative work represented 27+% of the entries within AME’s 2020 competition and APAC agencies achieved top spots on the AME Report for their innovative results-driven creative,” said Mandel. “It’s critical that a jury with a reputation as global award-winning leaders themselves thoughtfully review all entries and set the bar for effective excellence.”
AME’s award-winning Grand Jury is recruited from 5 global regions (Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, North America, and Latin America). These industry experts carefully review all entries through three rounds of judging.
The results of the 2021 Grand Jury sessions will be included in the annual AME Report, an industry report that honors and provides rankings for agencies and brands. View the 2020 AME Report.
The AME Awards deadline to enter is April 16th, 2021.
