    LONDON --

    The London International Awards (LIA), which is now accepting entries for the 2015 competition, has announced a number of category changes. 

    A New Director category has been added to TV/Cinema/Online Film-Production and Post-Production; a Multimedia Campaign category has been added to Integration; and The NEW has been redefined for 2015.

    Entries into the New Director category can be submitted by production companies or any company or individual involved in the project. The requirement for this category is that the Director has directed no more than 6 client-approved and released pieces of work.

    In the Integration medium, a Multimedia Campaign category has been added; entries for this category must have at least two different channels/platforms of communication.

    Entries into The NEW should be work that’s delivered with a freshness that makes its impact ever more potent–work that attempts to be category defining in and of itself.

    Eleven judging panels will preside over 15 media, with the juries being composed of approximately 100 top international creatives from agencies, production companies, design houses and technology companies from around the world.

    It’s a significant year in LIA’s history as 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the awards. The awards honor the legends, pioneers, and embodiments of excellence in advertising, digital, branded content, music & sound, branded entertainment, design and production, with 15 unique disciplines in total.

    Entries for LIA 2015 opened on February 16 and judging will take place from October 1-10. The shortlists will be announced as each judging session concludes, with winners being announced on November 2. For more information on submissions and eligibility, visit here.

    Anthony Head, the suave, smooth-voiced British actor known for roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Ted Lasso," has died, his family said Friday. He was 72.

    Head's daughters, actors Emily and Daisy Head, told the Press Association news agency that the actor passed away due to complications from pneumonia.

    The stage and TV performer became well known to British audiences in the 1980s as one half of a will-they, won't-they romantic couple in a series of ads for Nescafe Gold Blend instant coffee. The ads were later re-shot for a U.S. audience for Taster's Choice.

    Head achieved wider fame as librarian Rupert Giles, mentor to the title character in the cult-favorite supernatural series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which ran from 1997 to 2003.

    He most recently played Rupert Mannion, the villainous ex-husband of Hannah Waddingham's character Rebecca, in "Ted Lasso."

    "Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind, but we know his legacy will live on, in the shows he was a part of, and in the audiences that love them," his daughters said. "How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us."

    Head was born in London on Feb. 20, 1954 to Seafield Head, a documentary filmmaker, and Helen Shingler, an actor. His older brother, Murray, is also an actor.

    Other notable roles included playing Geoffrey Howe, the deputy to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Meryl Streep, in the Oscar-winning "The Iron Lady."

    Head portrayed a prime minister himself in the sketch comedy show "Little Britain," as well as King Uther Pendragon, the father of Prince Arthur, in the "Merlin" TV series. He also appeared in "Motherland," Manchild," and "Silent Witness," along... Read More
