DMA Awards Judges 2018

Here is the list of our esteemed judges for 2018 who judged across 4 days and 35 juries including our Grand Prix panel. Being one of the toughest award shows to win means that judging is certainly not a stroll in the park. The hard work and the time that our judges give is really appreciated.

We’ve continued with our mission to be the most inclusive awards programme – working with our partners Creative Equals and Stripes to achieve gender parity for the second year running and greater diversity across the juries, so those judging the work not only bring their expertise but are representative of the diverse audiences the campaigns are targeting.
