LIA’s Of The Year Awards are calculated based on a point system of winning work chosen by the Juries across all media. LIA uses the company credits from within the entry form that are input at time of entry to award those points. LIA does not calculate points for the Entering Company. The Network, Agency, Production Company, Post-Production Company, Music & Sound Company, Radio & Audio Company and Health and Medical Companies that attain the highest scores based on entries that win Statues or attain Finalists status will be honored with Of The Year Awards.
LIA, which was created for creatives, awarded 16 Grand LIAs, 148 Gold, 332 Silver and 467 Bronze winners. There were also 340 finalists who made the shortlist. The high caliber judges from across the planet judged virtually over several weeks; each juror viewed and scored every entry within their medium before meeting together in virtual judging rooms. Each jury along with their president convened virtually for the final round of judging to decide the trophy winners and ensure all work was judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions.
Australia scored one Grand LIA plus 75 Statues – 8 Gold, 26 Silver and 39 Bronze; and also attained 21 Finalists.
Australia was ranked #4th most awarded country in the world. In total, 963 LIA statues and 340 finalists were awarded to 53 countries with the United States leading with 217 awards, followed by the United Kingdom with 93, Germany with 92 and Australia with 75 statue winners.
Says Barbara Levy, president of LIA: “Australia has once again shown that talent abounds there in spades. It was amazing to see the scale of work by some of the Gold Winners that made such an impact on society. But the cherry on top has to be winning the Grand LIA in a highly regulated industry like Pharma & Medical.”

Love the idea of Dollar Donation but has anyone ever actually seen one
@askingforafriend Love the idea too but never seen one and don’t k ow anyone outside the industry who’s heard of it.
Dear @askingfirafriend and @Jay,
It is a lovely idea, the Donation Dollar, and one worthy of winning so many awards.
You seem to miss the point!
It’s as much about winning self congratulatory awards as it is about actually doing good.
The client was simply a willing and probably very happy participant as it shows them in a good light.
You know how it goes…
But did it actually do good? We’ll, you’d have to read the planners section of the submission (after twenty drafts) to see how the true value was ‘quantified’.
Alls well that ends well.
