Judges

The Jury for the World Media Awards 2026 reflects the breadth of skills required to create and coordinate great content-led, international media campaigns. In their day jobs, our judges generate ideas and content, plan communication strategies, and create the buzz that amplifies brand stories for leading global brands. And of course, our jury includes clients – the people who fund the work and demand effective results.

The judging process has two phases – an online shortlisting process followed by a meeting of our jury to select the winner in each category, our Grand Prix winner, and to choose the winner of the Content Leadership & Innovation Award from a list of nominations made by World Media Group members and our independent jury.
