DMA Awards Judges 2023

Here is the list of our esteemed judges for 2023 who judged across two weeks and 36 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 Culture Heros, Purple Goat and Outvertising to drive 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.
