The ANDYs has a reputation for playing host to some of the best judges in the business, and now anyone can contribute to the tough choice of who will get a place on the Jury to work co-chairs with Ty Montague (CCO of JWT, North America) and Michael Lebowitz (founder and CEO of Brooklyn-based Big Spaceship) at http://electthejury.com. Suggestions so far have included some left field options, such as graffiti artist Banksy, and director Michel Gondry.
