CLIO Awards Announces Juries for 2012

-- Entries deadline extended to Friday, February 3rd; enter today at www.CLIOAwards.com --

NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2012 -- The CLIO Awards, one of the world's most recognized international advertising, design and communications competitions, today announced the juries for 2012.

"The CLIO Awards has forged its reputation as the world's most influential advertising competition thanks in large part to the caliber of our jurors and the integrity our judging process," said Richard Beckman, CEO of Prometheus Global Media, parent company of the CLIOs. "These jurors represent the very top talent in their respective fields and will bring the highest standards of excellence to the CLIOs."

In 2011, CLIO simplified the entry system by reducing the number of categories from over 360 to just 64. In 2012, CLIO is making it even easier for entrants by eliminating the need to provide credits until work has been shortlisted. To celebrate these changes, CLIO tapped Euro RSCG New York to create a campaign to reflect the new streamlined approach. For more information on mediums and categories, go to www.clioawards.com/entries/mediums_and_categories.cfm. The 53rd Annual CLIO Awards will be held Tuesday, May 15th in New York City at the American Museum of Natural History. Registration is now open (www.clioawards.com/awards/). Tickets are $399.
