Judging an award show like the IAC Awards is a great way to share your experience and expertise with the online advertising community. It is an honor and an important responsibility when you are chosen to participate as a judge. You are helping to set the standard for award winning advertising throughout the Web.
The Internet Advertising Competition judges represent all aspects of the advertising and Internet worlds. Entries will be judged on the judging criteria and compete head-to-head with other entries within their specific category.
Judging Criteria:
Our judges are experienced professionals with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in advertising design and technology and the objectivity to score entries according to a predefined set of criteria.
Our 2025 judges represent some of the best the Internet Advertising community has to offer, including: Arc Worldwide, Blue Coda, BlackRock Investments, Brunner Digital, Campbell-Ewald, CNN News Group, Deep Interactive Asia, Digitas, EuroRSCG 4D, Google, IBM Interactive, imc2, JWT, LeapFrog Interactive, Mass Transmit, McCann Worldgroup, Razorfish, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Tectis GmbH, TMP Worldwide, Universal McCann Interactive, Weber Shandwick and Wunderman / Y&R. We expect most of these long-term judges to return for 2024, but are always interested in adding new talent to our panel.
We are looking for individuals who have direct experience developing online advertising. Our judges must have an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in web advertising, an eye for a well-designed ad and the objectivity to score entries according to a predefined set of criteria.
A judge will not be allowed to adjudicate entries within the category he/she is entered or has some other potential conflict. The judging will take place online in mid-February of 2025.
