Every year we assemble the best creative talent from around the world to judge our entries. We are very selective as to who our jurors are. They must be the best of the best, highly recognized, award-winning individuals from within their respective fields from veterans to up and coming stars.

All rounds of judging are done on-site at the Encore Las Vegas. Every judge is required to see every piece of work in their respective media. LIA awards Gold, Silver, Bronze and Finalists. Grand LIAs are awarded at the discretion of each jury. We do not require that a Grand be awarded in any medium. Public Service/Social Awareness Gold Winners from across all media are judged by a single jury to determine one Public Service/Social Awareness Grand LIA.

When all the awards are decided, every judge on each jury knows the results of their deliberations. Unlike some other shows, the results are open to the judges. We believe all should be transparent and satisfactory. Otherwise, what's the point of having such great talent in the same room?
