Gerety 2021 Open for Entries With All New All Female Power Jury

The 2021 Awards are now open for entries. The full jury includes more than 180 advertising and marketing leaders from 30 different countries.

Gerety Co-founder Lucía Ongay says “In this third year, we welcome new juries from new cities for our jury sessions, for a truly global perspective from the female vision of the best in creative advertising and communications from around the world”.

The Gerety Awards are the first to bring together to select the best in advertising – all advertising, not just advertising made for women -  through the female lens. The awards create a benchmark that is relevant to market reality, while redefining the standard to which advertising has traditionally been held. The 2021 Gerety Awards winners will once again define the standard to which advertising should be held and show clients the best way to target the world’s most powerful consumers. Entries are now open on the Gerety Awards website.

In addition to defining the overall shortlist juries will choose agency and production company of the year from their country. Executive jury sessions will be held in London, Toronto, Berlin, Santiago, Lagos, Singapore, Milan, Paris, Los Angeles and Budapest.

Past shortlists have commended UK originated campaigns such as Wunderman Thompson London's "Red Lioness" for BT, McCann London with "40,000 Strong" for Help for Heroes and global campaigns including "Moldy Whopper" and "The Punishing Signal". Click here to find out more about the 2020 shortlist.
