The Gerety Awards are open for 2024 entries, with 15 locations for the executive jury sessions announced. They include: New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Madrid, Warsaw, São Paulo, AUNZ, LATAM, East Asia, and the Middle East.
As well as defining the shortlist, the executive jury sessions each select the agency and production company of the year from their country. This is chosen from the entrants of the Portfolio Cut.
The jury will also be paying special attention to entries submitted into the Works for Good Cut. The highest scoring campaign for environmental and sustainability will be awarded with a special award called the Gerety Earth Prize.

The ‘Gerety Earth Prize’ embodies the essence of impactful work that not only inspires but also transforms our world for the better. It’s an honour and privilege to be a part of the Grand Jury, and I look forward to celebrating work that raises the standard for positive change,’ said Laura Maness, Global CEO, Grey Group.
