Creative Review’s Annual Awards 2025 are officially open for entries

One of the most respected and trusted awards for the advertising and design industries are back for 2025. Run, don’t walk to get your entries in before the Early Bird Deadline on 25 October

Creativity and design lie at the heart of all the brands, businesses, products and projects that we love. This is the driving force behind the Creative Review Annual Awards, which have been championing the best of commercial creativity for the past 22 years.

Now open for 2025, the Annual Awards are different to other awards schemes in that we only have three types of prizes: Winner is awarded to multiple winners across different sections and categories; Grand Prix is reserved for truly outstanding projects; and Most Creative is given to the top advertising agency, design studio, in-house agency, production company and brand of the year. This means that our winners showcase offers a snapshot of the most innovative and engaging work of the past year.

We welcome entries across eight overall sections: Advertising, Craft, Creative Effectiveness, Creative Tech, Design, Entertainment, Experience and Most Creative. The work we celebrate within these is eclectic, spanning a wide range of industries, countries, formats and styles. The result is a showcase that is never boring or predictable.

Similarly, our judging panels (which will be announced in October) reflect the diverse industries that Creative Review features, bringing together designers, creatives, clients, strategists, producers and more. It’s a rare opportunity for your work to be seen and discussed by over 40 experts from all aspects of the commercial creative industries.

All winners will be published in the Summer 2025 print edition of Creative Review – meaning a win can be cherished forever – as well as an online showcase that’s accessible for anyone to view, making it easy to share across social and online.

Want the opportunity to recognise your achievements, praise your team, inspire your colleagues and impress your clients? Find out more about the Creative Review Annual Awards and submit your entry at a discounted rate before the Early Bird Deadline on October 25.
