It was a long process, but the 16 member Media Innovation Awards jury finished evaluating all submissions to this year’s awards late last week.

Jake Norman, president and CSO of Mindshare Canada and one of this year’s MIA co-chairs, said he was “very excited to assemble an eclectic jury which reflects the evolving nature and complexity of the media product and the importance of being able to draw a line of sight from business problem to media solution.

“Not only does the jury include smart media professionals and successful marketers, but we also have vertical experts in social, data and measurement.”

The results are in… but we’re not going to tell you what they are yet. The shortlist is coming soon, but until then take a look at our amazing list of judges to see who rated your work. (And while you’re at it, visit the event site and book your tickets to the Nov. 7 gala in Toronto.)
