All finalists will win either One Asia Gold, Silver, Bronze or Merit awards, to be announced during 2022 Creative Week Shanghai.

One Asia 2021 rankings will also be announced at that time, identifying Agency of the Year, Client/Brand of the Year, Network of the Year, Independent Agency of the Year, Internal/In-House Agency of the Year and Production Company of the Year, as well the other top-scoring entrants determined by the number of Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit awards won this year.

A jury of more than 70 top creatives from 17 APAC countries and regions, as well as a handful of international creative leaders, judged this year’s entries.

“This is the second year that we have extended our scope to the Asia Pacific region, and have received brilliant ideas and amazingly crafted works from 17 countries and regions”, stated Ma Chao, chief representative for what is now known as The One Club Asia office.

“Although the whole world is still under the shadow of the pandemic, what was different this year is more positive and creative ideas have been produced to change the situation of a brand, a business, or a commercial experience. Quarantine didn’t stop people from communicating with each other, and it boosted the development of digital technology. This is truly inspiring, and we believe creativity and innovation are the solution to make the world a better place.”
