Judges

The AOP Digital Publishing Awards Jury includes digital industry leaders from advertisers, agencies, tech partners and publishers – ensuring that we include objective views and benefit from a breadth of expertise across the editorial, commercial, creative and technical areas of the digital publishing business.

Our Jury will review and score all entries online to provide a shortlist of the best entries in all categories. The final judging meeting will provide the opportunity for more discussion, leading to the winners who will be announced at the AOP Awards Ceremony on 11th June 2025 at Old Billingsgate.
