Chief Creative Officers of Wieden+Kennedy London, Ana and Hermeti Balarin, and founding editor of Final Cut, Rick Russell, have been named as chairs of the Arrows and Craft juries respectively for the 2024 British Arrows.
"We hold [the Arrows] in a special place in our hearts," said Ana and Hermeti. "I think being a president of a jury is humbling. You get the elation and the joy, but you also feel the weight of the responsibility."
"It’s a huge thing," added Russell. "I’ve been on juries for different awards and organisations and the idea of being the chair of the Craft jury is a privilege."

"It is one of the great pleasures of being the Arrows board chairperson that you get the opportunity to reach out to people you genuinely admire and tell them how fantastic they are and why they would make perfect jury chairs," said Simon Cooper, Chair of the Arrows board of directors. "So it was with Ana and Hermeti and Rick. All three are legends of the industry, have impeccable creative instincts and universally respected taste, and seem to be loved by all. I can speak for the whole board when I say that they were our first and immediate choices and we are absolutely delighted that they agreed so readily to be our 2024 chairs."
The 47th British Arrows winners will be decided by a soon-to-be-announced jury made up of a cross-section of top industry talent and the awards will be handed out at Grosvenor House on Thursday March 21st 2024.
Entry to the event will be opening on Monday October 2nd, with early bird cut-off on Sunday October 29th.
