Nils Andersson, LIA Print, Poster, Billboard, Ambient and Verbal Identity Juror commented on judging LIA, “I thoroughly enjoyed Judging LIA. Though being inside with the Vegas sunshine outside was tough. As a group of judges, we really aimed to keep the high standard that LIA has become known for. To that end, many pieces did not make it that might have made it through in other shows. Idea and execution need to be perfect to win.”

 

In total, 705 LIA statues, in addition to finalists, were awarded from 40 countries with the United States leading with 211 awards.

 

“China is truly an emerging market with very strong creative work coming out from there. It is good to see local Chinese agencies competing with independent international and network agencies and holding their ground creatively,” said Barbara Levy, President of LIA.
