Entries in the “New Directors” competition will be judged by the elite Executive Jury, comprised of 36 International Chief Creative Officers. Trophies will be awarded at the 2-day festival in New York City May 4th and 5th.

“For the first time in the history of New York Festivals the spotlight will be on emerging directorial talent.  After numerous discussions with the international production community, this new competition was launched to provide upstart directors with an opportunity to have their creative body of work recognized by the international advertising community,” says Michael Demetriades, Executive Director, New York Festivals International Advertising Awards .

The entry fee to participate in the competition is $595.00 total for the 5 single samples. New York Festivals International Advertising Awards will offer a special extended entry deadline of April 15th for submissions to the “New Directors” competition. Winners will be announced at the 2011 International Advertising Awards.

The 2011 Executive Jury, consisting of 40 Chief Creative Officers, will convene May 1st 5th in New York City to select trophy winners from the shortlisted entries selected by the Grand Jury.  Donald Gunn, Founder of The Gunn Report, will moderate the Executive Jury.
