Singapore , 25 April 2007 – This year's Clio Festival in South Beach , Miami begins on May 9 th and concludes on May 12 th , each day featuring various speaker forums.

JWT Regional Executive Creative Director South East Asia ,Tay Guan Hin was the Chairman for print, poster, direct, innovative media and integrated campaigns, The judging was held in New Mexico , Santa Fe in Bishop's Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa, which began as a private retreat for the city's first archbishop.

“I always thought Clio as an American advertising award. Not anymore, since all 15 judges represent the world's best creative talents from Amsterdam, Argentina, Brazil , Canada , China , Germany , Japan , Mexico , Paris , Singapore , South Africa , Sweden , Sydney and USA .

Personally, this experience gave me a unique opportunity to interact with different point of views from a global perspective.

We didn't just look for brilliant ideas or outstanding executions; but rather, a combination. Work that evoked or provoked. Hopefully, even talked about after the festival is over.” said Guan.

Not only will he be presenting the statues to the winners, he will be joining a panel of other jury chairman in the Jury Chairs Roundtable to engage in a free-form discussion of the year's creative work.
