Meet the New London Awards 2023 International Jury

International Jury: Fuensanta Nieto, Pippo Ciorra, Eleanor Sharpe, Georgina Robledo

Every year the New London Awards includes a rigorous process of project assessing, shortlisting and judging. Over two weeks in July, our teams of expert assessors from across the industry, review hundreds of submitted projects to compile a shortlist. Shortlisted projects are then presented, by our assessors, to the International Jury, for an intense week of judging to select the winners.

As well as identifying exemplar projects across London, the process provides a great way to network with peers and identify key themes emerging across different sectors.

The New London Awards international Jury is comprised of leading professionals from around the world bringing their unique expertise to pick the very best projects to win a New London Award.
