“It’s relatively easy to become a finalist. Winning a NYF World’s Best? That’s different. For that, 29 of the world’s most awarded creatives, and this year I, spend days trying to find fault with work that makes you feel realty jealous,” Ben Coulson, NYF executive juror.
This year, NYF awarded a Best in Show, 14 Grand Prize Awards, 70 First Prize Awards, 104 Second Prizes and 226 Third Prizes.
