The Gerety Awards reveals the full Global Executive Jury for its 2026 edition, bringing together an international collective of creative leaders who will define this year’s shortlist.
Following the announcement of Jury Presidents and global judging locations, the awards now confirm the professionals who will sit across 15 in-person jury sessions worldwide, evaluating the work that will shape the benchmark for creativity in 2026.
From creatives and strategists to producers, filmmakers, brand leaders and social specialists, the jury represents the full breadth of the communications industry — reflecting the diverse perspectives that the Gerety Awards was founded to champion.
Executive judging sessions will take place in London, Auckland, Toronto, New York, Paris, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Dubai, Madrid, Milan, Mexico City, Bangkok, Los Angeles, Berlin and São Paulo. Each session brings together influential regional voices who understand how work resonates locally, while collectively contributing to a global creative standard.
“The strength of Gerety lies in the collective intelligence of our jury. Bringing together more than 260 leaders across 15 cities means the work is viewed through multiple cultural lenses while measured against one global standard of excellence. Creativity does not exist in isolation — it lives in context. Our Executive Jury understands how ideas resonate locally and how they travel globally, and that balance is what defines the Gerety benchmark. We are proud to convene a community that reflects the breadth of our industry and sets a clear, relevant standard for 2026” commented Gerety Co-Founder and President Lucía Ongay.
