The Immortal Awards Europe Jury Awards Four Projects Finalist Status

A hand-picked global jury, composed of jurors from each regional jury, will be deciding which projects may be awarded Immortal or Commendation status in the final round of judging.

Awards director Paul Monan comments: “This year, we set out to expand the Immortal Awards with a series of regional competitions that would shine a spotlight on incredible local work, judged by those who understand its cultural nuances, its effectiveness and would fight for it on a global stage. Five jury days and 44 jurors later, we have a wonderfully diverse list of projects going through to the final round from all corners of the world. Our European jury were as dedicated and thorough as the other regions and have picked four projects that they believe will stand out internationally. We can’t wait to see which of the 29 projects on the global shortlist will be awarded Immortal status on 20th November!”
