Creative Review’s Annual Awards have been championing the very best of commercial creativity and design for the past 22 years. Each May, we publish our winners in our Summer print edition and in an online showcase. Our awards are unique in a number of ways:

1. Quality

The Annual Awards offer a snapshot of the most innovative and engaging work of the year. This means winning is an exciting accolade for agencies, studios, and clients alike.

2. Variety

The work we celebrate is eclectic, spanning a wide range of industries, countries, formats and styles. The result is a showcase that is never boring or predictable.

3. Judges

Our judging panels reflect the diverse industries we feature and bring together designers, creatives, clients, strategists, producers and more. This is a rare opportunity for your work to be seen and discussed by experts from all aspects of the commercial creative industries.

4. Presentation

The Annual Awards are one of the last creative awards to be celebrated in a print format, meaning a win can be cherished forever. Our online showcase is accessible for anyone to view, making it easy to share your win across social and online.

5. Heritage

Over the past 22 years we have built an archive of creative work that features some of the biggest names in the industry. Only by entering will you have the chance to join them.

We know entering awards schemes can be time-consuming, so we aim to make ours as simple as possible for you to take part in.

4. Pay for your entries.

5. Your final deadline is 6 DECEMBER, just a little reminder

Work entered into the Annual Awards 2025 must have been produced or first published/launched between January 1 to December 31 2024 to be eligible for entry. We welcome all forms of entrants, whether you are a brand, agency, publisher, consultancy, student or individual.

The exception to this is for entries to the Creative Effectiveness award category, where we can accept work that has been created between June 2022 and June 2024 (so there is at least six months since the launch of a project to accurately track its effectiveness). Campaigns or projects that began before June 2022 can be entered so long as a new element to them has been released during the entry period.

If you’re ready to go, enter below for a chance to join our alumni and win one of the creative industry’s most esteemed accolades.
