From John Silas
In a development that further strengthens his growing reputation as one of Nigeria’s most recognised and trusted judges of global creative and digital work, marketing and communications professional, Anietie Udoh, has been appointed to the international jury of the 2026 NY Digital Awards.
As a member of the jury, Udoh will be responsible for independently assessing submissions and helping determine the work that stands out for its quality, originality, effectiveness and impact.
The jury’s role is central to maintaining the credibility and integrity of the awards, with submissions evaluated through an independent and merit-based process.
This duty adds to a string of international jury roles that have increasingly become a mainstay of his professional career, the appointments positioning him among a select group of Nigerian professionals whose expertise in evaluating global standards in creativity, digital innovation and marketing is regularly sought.
His journey into international panels began about two years ago, and since then, he has continued to earn invitations to assess and recognise outstanding work from professionals and organisations across different markets and industries.
Communicating the appointment, the organisers said they were impressed by Udoh’s professional background and expertise, noting that his experience would bring an important perspective to the evaluation of digital work from around the world.
“Following our review of your professional background and confirmation of your appointment, we are honoured to have your expertise represented on this year’s panel,” the organisers said.
“Your experience will bring an important perspective to the evaluation of outstanding digital work from around the world, spanning innovation, creativity, technology, user experience, strategy, and measurable impact.”
Udoh will serve alongside an international panel comprising experienced professionals representing leading brands, agencies, technology companies, digital studios, consultancies, creative organisations and businesses across a broad range of industries and markets.
The NY Digital Awards celebrate digital work with strong strategic thinking, effective execution, innovation, creativity, usability and meaningful audience or business impact.
For Udoh, the appointment represents another significant recognition of his professional experience and growing influence beyond Nigeria. His increasing presence on the international judging panels also reflects the confidence that global creative and marketing platforms continue to place in Nigerian expertise.
With international jury appointments now becoming a recurring feature of his career, Udoh is steadily establishing himself as a reliable Nigerian voice in the global evaluation of creative, digital and marketing excellence
