Dear AIVA Community,
Over three decades of winning work. Vibrant campaigns that put brands on shelves, innovative sites for health and finance, documentaries for unheard voices, just to name a few. Different purposes, audiences, industries, and places, in just about any form you could imagine.
This summer, our team dived into last season’s winning work to find a narrative thread for this year. Anika, our Social Media Manager, celebrated with the winners around the world. Kari, our Jury Producer, and I met with entrants and jurors to understand what moved them and what mattered. The more we looked, the harder it was to find the right theme. Every conversation was unique and every winning piece was so distinct.
Then it clicked: it’s the people who bring it to life. The teams who rally behind the purpose of their work and do everything to get it seen. In return, the people who make it happen don’t often get the recognition for it.
As the way we communicate keeps evolving, it gets harder for teams to prove their impact. An outside perspective helps make their case. Our Jury, a group of industry leaders dedicated to giving back to communicators, brings exactly that. They see the work with fresh eyes. They validate it. They put the people behind it in the spotlight.
If your team is ready to show the jury that your stories do resonate, your ideas are right and your messages do land, enter now and “Prove It.”
Our team can’t wait to honor your work, and the people behind it all.
Best,
Josh
