2023 LONDON INTERNATIONAL AWARDS ANNOUNCES
MUSIC & SOUND WINNERS & FINALISTS
Helmed by Jury President Joel Simon, CEO and Chief Creative Officer of JSM Music, the Music & Sound jury is honored to present this year's distinguished winners.
After thorough evaluation and passionate discussions, the jury proudly awarded a total of 22 Statues in the Music & Sound category.
The Music & Sound category celebrates creative excellence and exceptional craftsmanship in curating, mixing, producing, or adapting music and sound for campaigns and brands across various media and platforms. After a thorough judging process, the jury has granted two Gold, eleven Silver, and nine Bronze Statues, alongside recognizing eight Finalists.
“We didn't have a Grand LIA this year because we only have two Golds. There wasn't anything that blew us all away where we go: that was unbelievable!” expressed Joel Simon. He went on to say, "We had really good, well crafted, well thought-out work. But we didn't have one that blew us all away."
On the Music & Sound judging, Barbara Levy commented, “We only have a couple of Golds in Music this year. Was the jury tough? Yes, they are all consummate professionals in their disciplines so anything that doesn't meet the mark won't make it into the metal table. Anything that wins is truly well deserving."
Created for Creatives, LIA brings together esteemed jurors from around the world for a thorough onsite judging process in Las Vegas over nine days. LIA prides itself on the absence of pre-judging. This ensure that each juror gives their full attention to evaluating every submission within their respective categories, fostering a fair and rigorous selection of the Winners and Finalists.
Stay tuned for more exceptional world-class work that impressed our distinguished jurors in our other panels.
