About the MUSE Creative Awards
The MUSE Awards is composed of a series of competitions that are organized to honor excellence from various fields. IAA ensures that these competitions are accessible and fair, guaranteeing recognition only to those who truly deserve the accolade.
“The industries have gone through significant changes through the years, yet to have these entrants showcase their ability to adapt and overcome, it is certainly surprising and encouraging to our team in IAA,” Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA, elaborated. He continued, “it is humbling to see the level of craft displayed in the submitted works. Our most sincere commendations go out to those behind said works and for setting such a high standard for excellence for all to follow.”
Having a jury composed of industry professionals, IAA successfully upheld impartiality and enforced industry-relevant assessment criteria. The jury’s role was to identify companies or individuals whose works showcased excellence and pushed their respective industries forward, which they had accomplished.
Grand Jury Panel
Out of the numerous applicants from 15 countries, the competition settled on 51 jurors. These highly respected professionals are held in high esteem in their respective industries and are affiliated with renowned organizations in the creative and design industries.

Other than employing industry-relevant standards in judging entries, impartiality was also enforced with the blind judging method. This meant that entries were evaluated by multiple judges without being compared with other submissions, meaning that each winning work had decisively won with its own merits.
“While the winners continue to reshape and redefine the industries with their continued display of excellence, we should not shy away from the challenge and instead share the vision in solidarity with them,” Thomas said. “IAA remains proud to be able to honor talented individuals while spotlighting their excellence. As they continue to mark the path forward, we should also unleash our boundless possibilities and join in this marvelous endeavor.”
