Twenty-eight of the top creative directors in the field of interactive advertising have been chosen to judge the One Show Interactive awards, the industry’s most prestigious awards competition celebrating the year’s best in digital media and web design

"Now in its eleventh year, One Show Interactive is evidence of The One Club's long standing dedication to recognizing good creative work within digital media and web design," explained Kevin Swanepoel, President of The One Club. "It has become the most coveted award for interactive advertising globally. This year’s jury, which reads like a Who’s Who of the interactive advertising industry, is the finest we have ever brought together."

The jury, hailing from 10 countries, will meet in New York to choose the winners of the coveted 2008 One Show Interactive awards from March 24-27. Winners will be announced on May 9 at an awards ceremony held during the One Show Festival at the Nokia Theater in New York City.

"I'm looking forward to a week of spirited discussion as we gather for what is arguably the most exciting interactive award show in the industry," said Will McGinness, Jury Chairman and Executive Creative Director at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco. "The interactive category has really begun to mature in recent years.
