Cresta is open for entries with new categories. New ideas. New chances to stand out.

Cresta 2025 is open for entries, and this year brings updates that reflect how the creative landscape is shifting. Whether you’re experimenting with AI, reshaping digital experiences, or telling stories that connect on a deeper level, Cresta’s new and expanded categories are designed to spotlight the work defining what comes next.

Brand Storytelling
This newly introduced category celebrates work that combines narrative and fact to build powerful connections between brands and audiences. Any format. Any platform. The only requirement is a story worth telling.

Creative Technology and the Future
Now updated to reflect a wider spectrum of innovation. From UX and data to VR, apps, and blockchain, this category highlights the best uses of emerging and established tech to drive creative impact.

Creative Use of AI
Completely new for 2025. This category recognises work that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. Whether it’s imagery, video, gaming, or multi-channel campaigns, this category shows how AI is powering bold ideas.

Outstanding Performance in Film Craft
Created to spotlight the power of performance on screen. This category honours authentic, compelling acting, as well as the scripts and direction that bring those performances to life.
