The International ANDY Awards has named Chris Beresford-Hill, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of BBDO, as Global Jury Chair for 2027 and announced the creative leaders who will chair its regional juries across six territories. The six free-to-enter regional competitions span Africa, Asia, Europe, LATAM, the Pacific and SWANA.
“It’s an honor to chair the ANDYs. This is a show that has meant a lot to me throughout my career. The ANDY’s didn’t create an endless number of categories to generate more entries and more medals. The show stays rooted in the things that matter most: idea and craft, with a few specialty awards recognizing bravery and public service,” said Beresford-Hill.
“Most importantly, one jury of the best creative minds in the world sees everything entered. The winners are judged in the context of the whole show, making the ANDYs a true hotlist of the very best ideas in the world, nothing more, nothing less. That’s exactly what we should want from a creative awards show.”
Now in its fifth consecutive year, the ANDYs work through regional-level judging before the global stage, a model built to highlight work from markets the industry’s award circuit has historically missed. Participation is free at the regional level. Each region is chaired by a creative leader with roots in that market. The ANDYs judge entries through the lenses of Idea, Craft, Reset and Bravery, with no traditional categories, and open the judging room to entrants for real-time feedback from the jury.
The International ANDY Awards provided the following bios of this year’s jury chairs:
