WINA, the touchstone festival for the independent creative communications sector, is changing venues.

Last year, the festival took place in the Dubai. This year, the festival will be heading to two beautiful destinations in the Americas; Miami and Monterrey.

WINA has confirmed two events in relation to the festival’s ninth edition. First, a meeting for judges on May 16 at the Hyatt Regency Miami (USA), where judges will vote for the Titanium award, based on a review of the highest-rated Grand Prix of this edition. This important gathering will close with a cocktail hour and dinner in honor of the presidents of our judges’ panel.

Then, on June 6, another academic event will take place in Monterrey (Mexico). Activities at this venue will include an advertisers’ forum, conferences, a contact agenda, and the presentation of awards to the winners, followed by a cocktail hour and dinner.

The world of independent advertising is eager to discover the year’s top protagonists and is excited to find out which agency will take the throne from Manifesto, the Spanish agency that swept the podiums and was ranked as the number one agency in the last edition of the WINA Festival.

It should be noted, that only independent multinational agencies and networks can participate in WINA, and that all agencies can submit up to 4 entries free of registration costs.
