Schwarzman Building.

Recent Appointments to the Executive Jury include:

Diane Ruggie, former Senior Vice President, Group Creative Director, DDB, USA

“The 2012 Executive Jury is proving to be one of the most impressive groups of international CCO's and executive creative officers ever assembled to judge the shortlist across all mediums for an international advertising competition,” commented Michael O'Rourke, President of International Awards Group. “NYF also extended the Final Deadline until February 27^th, allowing more entrants the opportunity to get their work in front of this incredible creative brain trust.”

The 2012 NYF Executive Jury is comprised of 30 international advertising agency chief creative officers and executive creative directors. Unlike other advertising competition juries, the NYF Executive Jury does not have a Chairman or President presiding, thereby allowing all members of the jury to be of equal status.  In 2011, Donald Gunn, founder of The Gunn Report, moderated the first live NYF Executive Jury.  Mr. Gunn will reprise his role as moderator, guiding the 2012 jury on its path to select the World's Best Advertising™.

The New York Show, a 2-day festival begins on May 2^nd, and will feature creative panel discussions, keynote speakers, networking events, the 2012 Executive Jury Press Conference, exhibits, and will culminate with the annual International Advertising Awards ceremony taking place on May 3^rd.   All New York Show events and the 2012 awards gala will take place at the landmark New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building located at Fifth Avenue and Forty-Second Street.
