It was a great pleasure being part of the Music & Sound Jury for LIA in 2016. Having served on this jury in prior years I can say without a doubt that the quality of work we judged this year was outstanding. We certainly had more quality submissions this season and it made our work of giving any award a difficult task. I believe we awarded only five Gold LIA's this year out of a few hundred submissions so it was indeed a competitive year for judging. The Original Music and Sound Design categories were the most competitive this year. Honda "Ignition" was an incredible piece of work and very deserving of our collective attention in the Sound Design category.

Beyond that, LIA assembled an incredible jury that was a global reflection of the work we were asked to judge. It was awesome to meet and work with everyone in the room.
