New York Festivals Global Awards®, honouring the World’s Best Healthcare and Wellness Advertising, have announced the 2018 Global Awards live judging session in South Africa. 

CEO of F/NE, Mandi Fine, will recruit a panel of industry experts who will assemble this September to review entries and help determine the 2018 Global Awards shortlist.

Shortlisted entries will be judged at the live Executive Jury judging session taking place 17th October in New York City.   “Live Judging sessions are a fabulous way of staying in touch with the world’s best creative work and trends, but also allow a collaborative forum for local agencies,” said Fine.

“The expansion of the Global Awards live sessions expands our roots a bit further around the world so entries from all over can be viewed and discussed by the top minds in healthcare and wellness and pharma advertising by region and varying cultures. The result is an exported version of their bar for creative excellence, with the side benefit of collaboration and potential future partnerships to tackle additional local or continental issues and initiatives,” said Executive Director, Global Awards, Fran Pollaro.
