Two new categories have been introduced to the program’s Special Awards: Music and Sound Company of the Year and Photographer of the Year. View all Special Award categories here.

AWARD will again honour the Best B2B Campaign of the Year as an entry-based award and has expanded B2B categories across its program.

The awards will also return to a live, sit-down gala ceremony in 2025, at a brand-new venue. Winners across all categories, bronze, silver, gold, and special awards, will be announced in person as part of AWARD’s This Way Up festival in August, marking a renewed commitment to celebrating creative talent as a community.

AWARD chair, Mandie van der Merwe, stated, “I’m thrilled to head into next year with the momentum of This Way Up and AWARD Awards to look forward to. The AWARD Awards celebrate the finest creativity in our industry, and by returning to a formal gala format, we will further elevate the recognition of creative excellence across APAC. Nominees deserve the acknowledgment their hard work truly deserves.”
