Bridget Flynn, Partner / Chief Operating Officer at Grayson Matthews, Toronto and LIA Music & Sound Juror commented on judging LIA, “I had such a fantastic time in Las Vegas judging the 2019 LIA Music and Sound awards. What an awesome group. It felt amazing to be surrounded by such a talented (yet very humble!) group of my peers. The conversations (debates!) around the statues were spirited and enlightening. We all felt really great about the final decisions. I enjoyed it so much. You always do a fantastic job curating the juries. Our jury was a great example of this. The opportunity to sit in a room with such a talented and experienced group of my peers and discuss the world's best work was inspiring. I believe the experience gives us the perspective, humility and inspiration to go back to our studios and teams and push the boundaries of our creativity further. That's what it is all about - doing great work with great people. So thank you for that!”
