About the MUSE Awards
The MUSE Awards is a series of international competitions hosted by the International Awards Associate (IAA), catering to professionals from various industries in hopes of promoting excellence in their respective fields. “There is a saying that ‘there is nothing new under the sun’,” said Kenjo Ong, CEO of IAA. “It couldn’t be any further from the truth – there is always something fresh and exciting from the competitors every year.”
IAA ensures impartiality and strict assessment criteria by setting up a jury made up of industry professionals who exhibit high standards of excellence. In turn, the jury would select a new wave of excellent individuals or organizations, who would likely set new benchmarks in their fields.
Grand Jury Panel Jurors numbered as many as 44, found worldwide from 23 countries. These individuals are known professionals belonging to leading companies from the creative and digital industries, such as Director of DNgroup Aps Frederick Rickmann, Head of User Experience of Huawei Sebastiano Boni, Owner and Founder of UArchitects Misak Terzibasiyan, Associate Creative Director of MullenLowe Renato Barreto, Associate Creative Director/Creative Catalyst of FCB Chicago Alice Crippa, Marketing Manager of Facebook Min Lu, Chief Innovation Officer, ONU/UN WOMEN Alejandro Calero, etc.
Every single entry is evaluated using standards found in their respective industries to ensure impartiality, blind judging is exercised, and jurors are only able to assess each entry purely on its own merits.

Garnering worldwide interest, the MUSE Creative Awards saw names of known organizations from all over the world in its list of entries.

As long as this platform exists, we will continue to sing praises of those who in adversity displayed their mettle, embodying excellence regardless of their environment.”
