Gerety Awards 2026 – Global Jury Insights Panels & Final Deadline On May 15

With the final deadline for the 2026 Gerety Awards on May 15, the global
industry is entering the final stretch to submit the work that will
define the year: now is the time to get the creative work into the
conversation.

Bringing together more than 260 judges from over 50 countries, Gerety’s
executive juries will meet across 15 creative hubs across the world,  to
define the shortlist — maintaining the award’s unique model of
evaluating work through diverse cultural perspectives.

To get a clearer sense of what defines award-level creativity this year,
Gerety organizes the Jury Insights Panels- a chance to hear directly
from the voices shaping the shortlist.

From Paris, Madrid and Milan to Toronto, São Paulo and across LATAM,
and from Bangkok, Hong Kong and Dubai to London, Los Angeles and
Auckland, these conversations bring together members of the executive
jury to share perspectives on emerging trends, standout work, and the
thinking behind the ideas setting the standard for 2026.

Taking place during the week of the shortlist announcement, when the
campaigns that made the CUT go live, these sessions offer an opportunity
to look at how decisions are made — and what separates good from
award-level.

The creative discussion will be taken beyond the jury room following the
judging, with the highest-scoring work being featured in the Gerety
Shortlist Showcase — a curated 30-minute film shared with over 1,400
past and present jury members  across more than 60 countries. The reel
is widely circulated among senior creative leaders and their teams,
creating a collective moment where the industry engages with the work
shaping the year.

“Gerety is about recognising work that resonates from a powerful
perspective,” said Lucía Ongay, Co-Founder of the Gerety Awards. “As we
approach the final deadline, we’re excited to see the work that will not
only stand out, but spark conversations across the global creative
community.”

Entries close May 15.
