“New York Festivals’ Executive Jury thoroughly evaluates every shortlisted entry selected online by The GrandJury members, together these prominent international creatives cast over 330,000 votes each year. Their experience in the industry and ability to recognize ground-breaking ideas insures that each entry earning a New York Festivals Award is truly worthy of the title “World’s Best Advertising,” said Michael O’Rourke, President of New York Festivals.

The 2014 New York Show™ events will take place on May 1st and will feature creative panel discussions, keynote speakers, networking events, the awards ceremony, and an after-party to honor the winners. All New York Show events, and the 2014 awards ceremony, will be held at the New York Public Library’s Beaux-Arts landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman building located at 455 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

This year’s award-winning entries will receive New York Festivals trophies created by Sagmeister & Walsh and inspired by New York’s Art Deco skyscrapers. These trophies allow award-winners to collect trophies year-after-year and create their own version of the iconic New York City skyline in their trophy case.
