What are the Community Awards?
Connect: Meet other creatives, industry professionals, and brands who share your passion.
Be part of the action: Win a Wildcard Prize, join in on activities and grow your network.
Incredible performances: Enjoy exclusive live performances and entertainment, tailored to our creative community.
The Community Awards are a new, community-driven awards ceremony for creatives. No pay-to-play nonsense, no need to have worked on a million-euro commercial. We focus on true up-comers, self-initiated work, and smaller but more impactful campaigns that showcase fresh ideas and individuality.
In some traditional ceremonies, success can depend on how much money you’ve spent on a flashy campaign or even just to submit your nomination (yes, we’re talking about those hundreds in euros in nomination fees), the Community Awards focus on what really matters: creativity, individuality, and personal impact. With free nomination entries and an inclusive gala.
