Register to be a Creative Circle Judge for 2024

Nov. 14, 2023

The Creative Circle Awards is inviting the creative community to become a part of the fairest creative judging process in the UK and have their say on the best creative work of the year ahead of the 2024 awards ceremony. 

To be eligible to become an online judge at the 2024 Creative Circle Awards, you must be an employed creative working in the UK. All registered judges are also encouraged to share the opportunity with another creative in their network, with the aim of doubling the number of registered judges year on year. 

The first and second rounds of Creative Circle judging take place online. Designed to fit around busy schedules, entries are split into small groups within their categories, meaning that each round should take less than two hours. Each piece of work is scored out of 10 by the registered creatives in each category, with the highest scoring entries advancing to the live Gold judging stage. 

The in-person Gold judging sessions are made up of senior creatives (who have been previously registered as an online judge), as well as the New Talent winners from the previous year’s awards ceremony. At this stage, entries will be deemed worthy of winning Gold, Silver or Bronze, before the Creative Circle President decides the winner of the singular coveted Gold of Gold award. 

Creatives can register to judge here. The full list of judging categories can be downloaded here.

Joe de Souza, Creative Director, Wieden+Kennedy commented on judging:

"Creative Circle is, for me, all about community. It's about getting your work seen by people who've made the same journey as you; inspiring and being inspired by your peers. Winning an award is the cherry - a glorious cherry - not the cake."

 

Franki Goodwin, Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi added:

"Creative Circle embodies what is great about our advertising and I always, always look forward to judging. Everyone comes with a generous, creative spirit which is testament to how the amazing event is run, the commitment made to young people and ultimately how the work is awarded. To enter is to be a part of the industry at its best."
