Each year thousands of judges from across the industry engage in the rigorous process of determining the world’s most effective marketing.

In each Effie competition, a dedicated jury of senior executives from across the marketing industry evaluates Effie entries. Judges are looking for truly effective cases: great results against challenging goals.

Effie Judges represent all disciplines of the marketing spectrum. 

Judge applications are accepted year-round. Kindly note, the application is meant to express interest in becoming an Effie judge and does not guarantee participation.

The discussions are great. I think it's really good to get to hear different perspectives, different points of view from people in different industries as the one you are in.

I really, really have enjoyed the community of experts that they bring together. The conversations are incredibly rich.

It's always super rewarding when you get in a room with colleagues that all do your job, but from a slightly different perspective. Seeing the different viewpoints and getting exposed to a different way of thinking about things, it always reminds me that your way of thinking isn't the only way of thinking...it's always good to be reminded of it by really smart people...I've seen a few truly really big ideas that inspired me to try to do better work.
