Barbara Levy, President of LIA said, “The work from Asia has consistently exhibited the highest degree of creativity. It is only fit that we invite these high caliber creatives to judge LIA 2015. I must say that we are truly honoured to have such a prestigious group of creative talent travel such a long way to judge LIA’s 30th Annual Awards. They will be tasked with viewing a massive number of entries and awarding creative excellence in their respective categories. Las Vegas will not be all fun and games! We are all looking forward to seeing what innovative ideas 2015 brings forth at LIA”.

The 2015 London International Awards Jury Panels consist of a number of the industry’s most respected names from over 25 different countries. Each jury will be brought to Las Vegas to judge on-site, starting with the first round and concluding with statue discussions. Every member on each jury panel, including the Jury President, judge all entries except their own work in their respective media without bias as to origin of work by country, company or individual. These panels decide on the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Statue Winners, as well as the Finalists. Each jury has the discretion to award a Grand LIA.
