- Kancils 2009 juror list announced
- Largest ever in its history
- Includes seven international and 41 local jurors
Malaysia - This year's Kancil Awards will feature seven international and 41 local judges, the largest line-up of jurors assembled in the award's 14 year history.
"In most years, the Kancils have had 30 or so jurors. But this year, the larger panel is necessary as the ten new categories require more specialists within each discipline," SP Lee, Jury Chairman of the Kancil Awards 2009, said.
"This also reflects the call for a larger representation of an award body which has grown to include over 100 member agencies," he said.
International jurors include Thirasak Tanapatanakul of Creative Juice Thailand, Tay Guan Hin of JWT Singapore, Agnello Dias of Taproot India, Andy Blood of TBWA\Whybin\Tequila Auckland, Dirk Eschenbacher of Tribal DDB China, Spencer Wong of McCann Erickson China and Richard Yu of Bates 141 Taiwan.
The Kancil Awards 2009 will launch on 30 October at the Sime Darby Convention Centre and will this year feature 10 Golden Kancils instead of the usual one.
