The Midsummer Awards is the only international festival that was founded by working creative people. It is sponsored and organised by people who are themselves in the business of creating and producing films for television and cinema.
The Festival's Board of Governors includes the Heads of Television of most of London's top agencies. Its aim is to encourage and reward creative excellence. This year's jury is headed by Jim Bolton, creative director of Leo Burnett, London. The rest of the jury are all working writers and art directors.
