Global Awards’ Executive Jury and Grand Jury are recruited from more than 20 countries on six continents. Separate Consumer and Pharma (Rx) Executive Juries evaluate creative entries within the Consumer and Pharma (Rx). These split juries allow entries to compete with those submissions from their own specific discipline and within their own competition.
