Looking Back on the 2015 International ANDY Awards!
The International ANDY Awards continued its ongoing celebration of the bravest and most creative work in advertising last week in Costa Rica with a slew of events and activities in addition to the hard work in the jury room. Wednesday kicked off with a breakfast by McCann Worldgroup, along with a wonderful Barista Break thanks to Post Factory NY!
Following a full morning of judging and a lunch hosted by Leo Burnett Worldwide, the jury enjoyed some local cuisine for dinner at the rustic and legendary Father Rooster surfside restaurant.
The fourth day began bright and early with a breakfast for the jury members, hosted by JWT. Then following another jam-packed day of judging, the jurors went on a wild river safari at the Palo Verde National Park, thanks to Wieden + Kennedy! It was quite an adventure exploring Costa Rica’s breathtaking wildlife.
Deutsch LA helped the Jury regain their energy with breakfast on Friday, and then the team set off to finish their last day of the 2015 ANDYs judging. In between deciding which brave work to add onto this year’s shortlist, they broke for a power lunch hosted by AdForum, and then continued on to their last round of judging.

@XantheWells: Last breakfast in paradise #ANDYawards #andy2015 thank you for the amazing time @andyawards!!!
