Jury

The International Jury of Experts

The jury is at the heart of the Golden Award of Montreux, bringing together high-profile professionals from 18 countries whose independent judgment ensures the competition’s high standards. The different expertise across members guarantees a balanced and thoughtful evaluation of all entries.

“The overall quality of the submissions is consistently outstanding. Choosing the winners is never easy, which speaks to the high creative standards of the competition.”
Eduardo Basque, Vice President & Creative Director, FCB Health New York

“Reviewing the entries is genuinely inspiring. The ideas show strong craft, originality, and ambition.”
