New York Festivals Advertising Awards 2019 is now open for entries. And it’s even better than last year, with new categories and a new NYF Advisory Board behind the scenes, made up of some of the most prominent global agency leaders from around the world.
“We are thrilled to introduce our distinguished Advisory Board members for the NYF Advertising Awards. Staying relevant and beneficial to the industry is central to our mission and we always strive to improve the ease of navigation for our entrants each year. Our commitment to reflect, evaluate and change led us to seek the guidance of several knowledgeable members of the industry and form our first Advisory Board,”stated newly-appointed executive director, Susan Glass Ruse.
Advisory Board member, Matt Eastwood, added “It’s long been my belief that awards are incredibly important, in that they stimulate and support great work. As a judge at the 2018 New York Festivals, it became obvious to me and many of the jurors that the judging process, the entry criteria, and even the show itself, needed some updating.
“We formed an Advisory Board of industry luminaries and gathered honest and actionable feedback. The result is a streamlined award show designed for the industry we work in today.”
There are 35% fewer categories and categories have been revised to reflect the kind of being work produced today and represent the full spectrum of creativity. Some category groups have been combined or removed. 2019’s new category groups include Positive World Impact, Social Media & Influencer, Artistry & Craft in Advertising, and Collaborations & Partnerships.
New categories include Digital Transformations, Brave Work/Brave Client, and the New York City Award. New Empowerment categories were created for Women, LGBTQ and Social Justice.
