New York Festivals International Advertising in All Media Awards (NYFA) has been completely restructured.

• Outdoor
• Mixed Media
• Radio
• Collateral (NEW)
• Art & Craft (NEW)
• Student (NEW)
ABOUT THE NEW COMPETITIONS:
Art & Craft champions excellence in the technical side of advertising. Recognizing the importance and appreciating the fine-tuning that distinguishes good from great, the Art & Craft competition searches for entries where precision makes the piece and raises industry standards. Categories include Art Direction, Best Music, Copywriting, Editing, Film Direction, Illustration, Photography and Sound Design. Entries will be judged by a hand-picked international panel of executives from ad agencies and production companies.
A medium tightly bound to information and effective communication, Collateral challenges the analytic and aesthetic sides of creative. Sample categories include Brand Label, Brochure, Calendar, Logo and Stationery.
The Student Competition seeks out the top-notch creative talent of tomorrow for a sneak peak of the innovation to come.
