Once again Gerety will be holding in-person jury sessions in ten different cities; the locations and judges for the executive jury will be announced in the new year. Entries are judged on the originality of the creative ideas and the quality of their executions and all types of advertising campaigns can be entered.

As well as defining the shortlist, the executive jury sessions each select the agency and production company of the year from their country. This is chosen from the entrants of the Portfolio Cut.

The 2023 Gerety Awards will open for entries and announce the full jury in January. In the meantime, entrants are invited to learn more about the Grand jury and download the 2023 entry kit at www.geretyawards.com.
