10 May 2019 is Gerety Awards submission deadline

The final deadline of the inaugural Gerety Awards is 10 May 2019; the shortlist will be announced on 15 June 2019. Named after Frances Gerety, the copywriter who coined the slogan "A diamond is forever", the award provides a global platform for talent and supports initiatives that champion diversity in the creative industries.

All advertising works broadcast between January 2018 and the deadline are eligible for entry and the works are judged on two criteria: originality of the idea and its execution. Ten cities will host the executive judging sessions that bring together agency and brand leaders to choose the finalists: London, New York, Paris, Stockholm, Hamburg, Sydney, São Paulo, Mumbai, Amsterdam and Beirut.
