The Global Awards juries to convene in Sydney, Chicago and London – Ward6 to host Sydney leg
International healthcare and wellness agencies Ward6 Sydney, Publicis LifeBrands Resolute London, and CAHG Chicago will host live Grand Jury judging sessions on behalf of the 2015 Global Awards competition.
2016 Global Awards Live Jury Sessions hosts include:
· Sydney – September 18th: Hugh Fitzhardinge, Creative Director, Ward6 Sydney, Australia
· London – September 23rd: Shaheed Peera, Executive Creative Director EU, Publicis LifeBrands Resolute London, United Kingdom
· Chicago – September 24th: Robin Shapiro, President & Chief Creative Officer, CAHG New York, Chicago and San Francisco
The Global Awards Grand Jury of prominent international healthcare and wellness executives will assemble this month to judge creative work submitted to the 2015 competition. Judging sessions will also take place online, allowing entries to be viewed comprehensively by an international jury from regions with both established and growing healthcare markets. The annual live sessions allow jurors to examine in detail multi-paged works including: sales kits, direct mail, brochures, point of purchase displays, and annual reports and select entries that will achieve Shortlist status.
Says Fitzhardinge (pictured): “At Ward6 we’re delighted to host the 2015 Global Awards live session in what’s now a long-standing tradition ‘down under’. I like to think Australia punches above its weight in healthcare advertising and it’ll be great to have creatives from both global networks and local independents in attendance. In a rapidly changing environment, I’ll be hoping to discover some of those elusive game changing ‘new’ ideas that we all wish we’d come up with.”
The Global Awards will host the 2015 Executive Jury judging session on Tuesday October 13th in New York City.
“The Global Awards Executive Jury and Grand Jury of international industry experts, represent the top creative minds in the field of healthcare & wellness advertising. Our jury members are recruited from more than 20 countries on six continents,” said Michael Demetriades, VP & Executive Director of the Global Awards. “This comprehensive jury selection process ensures that each entry is judged by renowned talent with global knowledge and perspective from the industry.”
The 2015 Global Awards will honor award-winners on December 3, 2015 at celebrations held in both New York City and in partnership with Bravo! in Sydney.

The board is represented by a panel of prominent health care professionals whose reputations and knowledge of the industry continually generate prominence and expand the international reach of the Global Awards. Board members guide the judging process and ensure that the competition addresses the evolving needs of the healthcare communications industry.
