Virtual Presentations
In the lead up to the online premieres of all three shows, AICP will be releasing a series of virtual panel discussions of the creative teams behind some of the most shortlisted work. Each panel features the thinking of the creators behind some of the most shortlisted work across all three awards programs.
The virtual presentations are designed to provide inspiration and insight for the industry, while also honoring those whose creative ingenuity and thinking went into creating work featured in the shortlists.
Blue-ribbon panels of judges assembled earlier this year and reviewed work across 60 categories for the three competitions. The judging process for each show was led by their respective chairs. The AICP Show Chairperson, Ali Brown, President of PRETTYBIRD, and AICP Post Awards Chairperson Chris Franklin, Founder/Editor of Big Sky Edit, oversaw the selection of judges for their respective shows with the aid of a 50-person Awards Committee. The AICP Next Awards Judging Chair, Tiffany Rolfe, EVP/Chief Creative Officer U.S. at R/GA, selected Jury Presidents for each category of the AICP Next Awards, who in turn selected their judges.
As has been the case since their inception, The AICP Show and The AICP Next Awards are preserved in The Museum of Modern Art’s Department of Film’s state of the art archives for future generations to study and are available for use or exhibition by the museum’s curators. All individual works and each year’s shows in their entirety can be viewed exclusively at www.aicpawards.com, the AICP Awards Archive website. All winners of the AICP Post Awards will receive trophies, and their work will be showcased at www.aicppostawards.com. Information to RSVP for the events will be available on aicp.com.
