New York Festivals International Advertising Awards, now in its 56th year of honouring the World's Best Advertising, announced their partnership with the Berlin School of Creative Leadership to offer an exclusive scholarship for New York Festivals Executive and Grand Jury members, the 'Helga and Michael Conrad Scholarship for New York Festivals Jury Members'.

“The industry of creative communications evolves at such a rapid pace, requiring the need to continue to learn and adapt. Berlin School's 'Helga and Michael Conrad Scholarship for New York Festivals Jury Members' speaks volumes in terms of its dedication to improving the industry standard and establishing stronger creative leadership as a result,” said Michael O'Rourke, President, International Awards Group. “We're honoured to be part of this initiative, and share this excellent opportunity with our Executive and Grand Jury members.”

Today, effective leadership is critical to great work in all creative industries.  The Berlin School's mission is to “turn great creatives into great creative leaders”.  And “having a creative CEO in every creative business” is the Berlin School's vision.

“With our (fully paid) scholarship we want to globally spread the word amongst creative leaders about the Berlin School's successful mission of 'turning great creatives into great creative leaders' and at the same time of course we'd love to add another brilliant creative mind to our diverse classroom in March 2013. It's great we can do this with our friends from the New York Festivals for their outstanding group of global jury members,” said Helga and Michael Conrad, President, Berlin School of Creative Leadership.

The scholarship provides New York Festivals International Advertising Awards Executive Jury and Grand Jury members the opportunity to attend the Berlin School's part-time global Executive MBA Creative Leadership Programme. The recipient of this scholarship will receive 53,000 Euro in tuition based support to attend the EMBA programme starting March 10, 2013 in Berlin. Designed for busy professionals, the programme can be completed in one to two years with five separate two-week modules in Berlin, the USA, and Asia.

The application deadline for the “Helga and Michael Conrad Scholarship for New York Festivals Jury Members” is November 1, 2012 and the scholarship winner will be announced on November 15, 2012. New York Festivals International Advertising Awards Jury members (both current and past) may apply or nominate a leader from their agency.

The scholarship is open to all jury members who have served on New York Festivals International Advertising Awards juries.
