The Gerety awards opens entries for 2023. The locations for the fifth season of the Gerety awards are London, Chicago, Dubai, Mumbai, Berlin, Bucharest, AUNZ, Madrid, Bogota, and Stockholm. 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.

New for 2023: entrants will be able to submit entries for Strategy as well as Emerging Commerce into any of the Gerety cuts for Communication, Media, Innovation, B2B, Health, Pharma, Works for Good, Entertainment, Experience and Humour.

Entries celebrating strategy will show creative examples of the customer journey and strategic planning that redefined a brand or product.

Emerging commerce will show new channels that organically use the Metaverse, NFTs, Blockchain, AI, AR and other advanced technologies and tools to seamlessly support the development of a brand, product or service.

London ambassador, Amy Kean says: "Diversity is more than words, and the most inclusive initiatives have it in their DNA. For too long the spotlight has been focused on one demographic, and The Gerety Awards are making sure that changes. I'm in awe of their rapid growth and stature, and the work they do to celebrate creative women all over the world. These awards provide a benchmark for fairer representation, within a space that's notoriously slow to adapt to the modern world. Being a jury ambassador will be one of the highlights of my year. I can't wait to judge a slew of great campaigns, and proudly reinforce the fact that when it comes to brilliant women, there is no one-size-fits-all."
