The first ever jury for the Audio Awards was selected with insight and guidance from the Institute of Creative Advertising and Design, alongside some of the best, most highly respected and consistently awarded creatives in the industry. Drawing from this experience, the Audio Awards assembled a jury which was qualified to assess, recognise and award the most exceptional work.
The jury was assembled with a varied set of experience in mind, and equipped to evaluate work in a fair and effective manner. The jury comprised four creatives, two practising outside Ireland, one Irish jury chair, and an audio craft specialist. The jury was empowered to award to the best of its ability, and as such, the Audio Awards had no access to the jury whilst they deliberate. Similarly, the Audio Awards was not privy to decision making rationale, and had no input into the results.
