Art Directors Club Announces Jury Chairs for ADC 91st Annual Awards

The Art Directors Club in New York City just announced the lineup of industry leaders who will serve as jury chairs for the ADC 91st Annual Awards program.

Jury chairs for the six ADC 91st Annual Awards categories are as follows:

• Advertising: John Boiler, president, 72andSunny, Los Angeles, CA
• Design:  Arem Duplessis, design director, The New York Times Magazine, New York, NY
• Photography:  Kieran Antill, creative director, senior vice president, Leo Burnett, New York, NY
• Illustration:  Rodrigo Corral, creative director, Farrar, Straus and Giroux; founder, Rodrigo Corral Design, New York, NY
• Interactive:  Natalie Lam, executive creative director, McCann Erickson, New York, NY
• Integrated:  Brian DiLorenzo, chief production officer, McCann Erickson, New York, NY
• Motion:  Andre Stringer, director, creative director, founder, Shilo, New York, NY

New for this year is the appointment of a separate jury chair for Motion, a fast-growing segment of awards entries.  In addition, this will be the first time the ADC Annual Awards will have a separate jury chair and jury dedicated specifically to Integrated.  Elevating these two areas reflects the growing importance of each in today’s creative work.  

The online call for entries (CFE) for the ADC 91st Annual Awards will be open shortly at www.adcawards.org.  Deadlines for entry are January 20, 2012 for Design, Photography, Illustration and Interactive; February 3, 2012 for Student, and February 10, 2012 for Advertising and Integrated.    

This year’s CFE is created by DDB New York.  “This CFE  campaign looks at the obstacles that increasingly stand in the way of doing great creative,”  said Olga Grisaitis, director, ADC.  “We are encouraging creatives worldwide to keep fighting the good fight.”  To receive the CFE, please sign up at http://www.adcglobal.org/register/user/.
