Part of the New York Festivals Competition, the awards enlist a panel of industry experts to select the winners, which in 2016 consisted of 12 Gold and Silver Australian winners.

MercerBell scooped up two Gold Midas, two Silver Midas, and three Midas Certificates for their work for World First, Qantas, and Allianz.
