The final deadline for the 2025 Gerety Awards is approaching – Friday, May 9, and the awards has organised its unique Humour in partnership with Funny Women. Lynne Parker, founder of Funny Women will lead the jury.
Funny Women is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering women from all walks of life using comedy and humour to build confidence, explore creativity and have a voice. Founded in 2002, Funny Women promotes equal rights and opportunities for all, promoting female-identifying voices, and contributing to gender parity in the industry and beyond. The annual Funny Women Awards were founded in 2003 and have recently launched for 2025 sponsored by BBC Studios’ Funny Parts.
The Humour cut at Gerety celebrates the very best of funny advertising. It understands that making other people laugh is one of the most refined arts in entertainment. The unique Funny Women jury’s vote will be included in that of the global executive jury that chooses the shortlist that will be announced at the beginning of June.
Commenting on the partnership, Lynne Parker, stated, “This is a fantastic opportunity for our extended team of brilliant female comedy producers and collaborators from around the world to participate in the amazing Gerety Awards. Comedy is integral to memorable advertising and over the years we have discovered some incredibly talented performers, writers and creators who have gone on to work in the wider creative industries. I can’t wait to see what this year brings.”
