The Executive Jury will convene in New York City April 27 through to May 1. Award-winning entries will be announced at the New York Show awards presentation on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at the New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.

On the panel from Asia are:

  • Kentaro Kimura, Co-CEO, Executive Creative Director & Account Planner, Hakuhodo Kettle, Japan (pictured)

  • Chris Kyme, Chief Executive Officer, Kymechow Communications, Hong Kong
  • Santosh Padhi, Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Taproot India, India
  • Merlee Jaymee, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer, DM9 Jayme Syfu, Philippines
  • Marcus Rebeschini, Chief Creative Officer – Asia, Y&R Asia, Singapore
  • KV Sridhar, National Creative Director, Leo Burnett India, India

    • “We’re looking at arguably the most experienced awards jury going.  And in our opinion, their experience and expertise, along with the ability to recognize ground breaking ideas is what makes this jury so unique, and our winners so deserving,” said Michael O’Rourke, President International Awards Group/New York Festivals. “Providing our jury members with the opportunity to evaluate only the shortlist means more time for debate and discussion and it also means that each entry will be given the undivided attention it deserves.”

    Further appointments will be made over the next month.
