The 31st LIA judging was held at the Encore at Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, convening over a ten-day period. The Juries, led by their respective Jury Presidents, viewed and scored every entry within their medium, ensuring that all the work was judged equally. They concluded with final discussions determining the Grand LIAs, Statue Winners and Finalists.
France picks up a total of 34 Statues and 9 Finalists – 1 Grand LIA, 6 Gold, 12 Silver and 15 Bronze.
Barbara Levy, President of LIA, stated, “Nothing was taken for granted in the judging rooms. The jury members were very conscientious when it came to Statue discussions. They visited and revisited each piece of shortlisted work again and again. So you can be assured that the Statue winners in the 2016 LIA Awards come from a crop of work that is universally acknowledged as exceptional. And the Grand LIA winners are without doubt, the best of the best. So my highest congratulations to our Grand LIA and Statue Winners.”
The Print/Poster/Billboard Jury, led by Susan Credle, Global CCO of FCB, selected Prodiss titled “Ma place est dans la salle Campaign” as the Poster Grand LIA, awarding FRED & FARID, Paris with the honour. The agency received five additional Statues for “Ma place est dans la salle” across four different juries.

“The Grand LIAs went to work that created a movement. Work that launched a bigger creative idea. The Grand LIA work proves that these mediums still have incredible power,” stated Credle. “Over all, I think the jury was not only looking at the craft of the work but also at the strategic thinking behind the work. It was important to remember we are in the business of art AND commerce. Small and clever and precious did not get as much attention this year as big and smart and problem-solving.”
