Telly® Judging Council Resources
Thank you for serving on the Telly Awards Judging Council. At this year’s 47th Telly Awards, we want see how entrants Capture the Original inspiration of their core creativity, while seizing the limitless potential of the current moment to express it. Across business, branding, broadcasting, and the arts, there’s never been a greater need for original IP, and there’s never been more ways to manifest, augment, and transform it. We want our community to show us how they're engaging with this inflection point in creative history while letting their original inspiration shine through.
