The Vega Digital Awards is organized and hosted by the International Awards Associate in order to honor digital content creators, who pioneer new horizons in an ever-changing landscape. "The industry has undergone rapid changes over the years and it brings us joy to see people thriving in spite of it, as evidenced by the entries we had received," Thomas Brandt, IAA's spokesperson said. "Congratulations to the winners and thank you for pushing the boundaries of possibilities with your works."
IAA helps ensure impartiality by incorporating a jury system. The jury was made up of industry professionals whose works demonstrate excellence. Combined with a set of strict assessment criteria, the competition was able to ensure victory went to those who were deserving.
Grand Jury Panel
Numerous professionals were onboarded as jurors to judge the submitted entries this season. These individuals are respectable industry leaders within their own disciplines and belong to leading digital enterprises, such as Managing Partner at Driving Growth - Robert Mitchell, Associate Creative Director of ANOMALY - Joaquin Lynch Garay, Chief Creative Officer / Founder of Birger Linke Design - Birger Linke, Founder of AdvAge Advertising & NFT Cube Agency - Maria Afroditi Patsi, Creative at Mother New York - Kushal Birari, CEO of design with FRANK - Chloe Fan, Creative at Snap Inc. - Yeon Sang Yoon, Chairman at Asia MarTech Society - Ken Ip, Creative Producer at Mondlicht Studios - Zhanna, Chief Experience Officer at Key Medium - Ali Jaffar, and many more.
