New additions to the 14-member expert jury for the Swiss Out of Home Awards

Outstanding Out of Home Media, fascinating specialised topics and plenty of glitz and glamour – that’s what awaits guests at the Swiss Out of Home Awards, which will take place on 4 September 2025 in Zurich. This year, there are two new faces on the expert jury: Antonia Lepore and Stefan Hürlemann. The 14-member jury will award prizes for the best posters and ads in Switzerland.

Entrants to Switzerland’s largest creative competition for analogue and digital Out of Home Media can take advantage of a high-profile platform to publicise their work and have it evaluated by a high-calibre jury. Christian Brändle, Jury President and Director of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, explains: “The jury examines each entry in detail and is independent, competent and focused on quality. Awards are given to campaigns that excel in terms of design, offer surprising perspectives and demonstrate communicative power.”

The expert jury, whose membership changes every year, consists of 14 representatives from the culture and media planning sectors, as well as advertising clients, agencies and creatives. Monica Märchy, Studio Way AG, and Melanie Felder, AMAG Import AG, are stepping down from the panel in 2025 and making way for two new members, Antonia Lepore, Axa Schweiz, and Stefan Hürlemann, Skala Design GmbH.
