2019 LIA announces 15 jury presidents

The London International Awards (LIA) has announced its list of 2019 jury presidents. As in past years, more than 150 jury members from around the world will convene in Las Vegas to be part of the judging process. All rounds of judging are done on-site at the Encore-Wynn Hotel.

Every judge is required to see every piece of work in their respective media. These panels decide on the gold, silver, and bronze statue winners, as well as the finalists. Each panel at their discretion also decides on whether a Grand LIA will be awarded. This year, to reflect the dynamic and shifting landscape of communications, LIA is introducing two new standalone competitions - social influencers and podcasts.
