Lord Burns, , said: "It is the role of the judges to reward campaigns that have proved the commercial power of their ideas and demonstrated their marketing payback, which is no mean feat."
He added: "I am therefore delighted to chair a collection of the finest industry minds who share a wealth of business acumen and experience."
David Golding, founding partner of Adam & Eve, will be convenor of judges and Marie Oldham, head of strategy at MPG, will be deputy convenor.
The awards recognise campaigns that demonstrate the payback of marketing communications. They are open to agencies, media owners and advertisers around the world.
Last year's Grand Prix winner was Mediaedge:cia's campaign for Morrisons "Let's Grow - getting your hands dirty".
The campaign encouraged consumers to grow their own vegetables and provided school vouchers to acquire gardening tools and seeds. It generated a payback of £21.57 for every pound spent.
Transport for London won a Gold award for the safety campaign: "Cyclists should be seen and not hurt" and Halifax were honoured with the third Gold Award available for its 2008 Halifax Students ±±¾©Èü³µpk10.
