Dubai Lynx announces 2023 Jury line-up

The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity has announced the names of the jury members who will award this year’s Lynx Awards.

Amongst the industry experts, three See It Be It Alumni join the line-up, which is the highest representation the Dubai Lynx Jury has seen before.  See It Be It is the Cannes Lions founded talent programme, created in 2014, which aims to support creative female talent and is now open for applications. Vietnam is also represented on the juries for the first time.

About the jurors, Philip Thomas, Chairman, LIONS and Dubai Lynx, said, “We’re thrilled to announce this global group of talented creative experts, including three See It Be It Alumni and representation from Vietnam for the first time. To see such high representation from the See It Be It community truly shows the value of the programme in elevating female creatives into leadership roles. They will all play a crucial role in recognising and awarding creative excellence in the MENA region. We’re grateful to all of our 2023 Jury for devoting their time and knowledge, and we can’t wait to see our jurors in action in Dubai later this year with the return of a physical event.”
