(New York 31 May 2024) London International Awards (LIA), in its 39th year will host 12 jurors from the LATAM region. These Jurors will be onsite in Las Vegas for LIA Judging that takes place at Encore @ Wynn commencing 29th September through 7th October 2024.
Brazil, which is the largest country from the LATAM region, has the longest history of award-winning work in LIA.
However, in recent years, many other countries are emerging as a creative force to be reckoned with. Last year, the show had three Grand LIAs – one each from Brazil, Colombia and Chile.
Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said, “There are many rising stars in Mexico and South America. This year, we are pleased to have Laura Rapela from GUT, Buenos Aires as our first Radio & Audio Jury President from Argentina. We know that under her guidance, many fresh and unexpected pieces of work will rise to the top.”

All rounds of judging are done onsite at the Encore @ Wynn Hotel. Every judge is required to see every piece of work in their respective categories. These panels decide on the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Statue Winners, as well as the Finalists. Each panel, at their discretion, also decides on whether a Grand LIA will be awarded.
As there is no off-site pre-judging, all judges are fully involved from the beginning to the end, so everyone is privy to the final results before they are published.
LIA is just one of five global shows that is included in the WARC Creative 100.
