    “The Midas jury, an impressive panel of award-winning experts recruited from the world of financial advertising, are dedicated to thoughtfully evaluating entries and awarding only those entries worthy of the title of the World’s Best Financial Advertising,” said Scott Rose, executive director of the Midas Awards.

    The Midas jury offers their perspectives not only on how well a message is delivered, but how it is received. Midas awards gold and silver ingots to the highest scoring entries, and presents the Grand Midas to the entry considered “Best in Show.” The results of the juries are parsed in an annual rankings brief, The Midas Report, —a veritable who’s-who in the world of financial services advertising that includes the 3 individual reports: Agency, Brand and Network.

    The final deadline to enter the 2017 Midas Awards is 17 November 2017. Entry details, including competition categories and rules and regulations can be found on the Midas Awards website. To enter, click here.
