Transform Awards Asia 2026 open for entries

The Transform Awards Asia is proud to announce it has officially opened for 2026 entries. The awards programme has been celebrating the transformative power of brand strategy, creativity and design throughout the continent for over a decade.

The Transform Awards is once again back in Asia to celebrate the transformative power of brand design, creativity and design. As always, this year’s entrants will look to the previous edition’s most outstanding projects for inspiration. Last year’s big winners include Diageo India, Smirnoff and Bulletproof, which took home the ‘Grand Prix’ award, and Korean Air and Lippincott, which won ‘Best Overall Visual Identity.’

As always, the judges, formed by a panel of experts in the brand design, marketing and corporate communications field, will create a shortlist recognising those agencies and businesses that excel for their creative or strategic approach to their branding work.

To be a part of this fantastic event that pays homage to the best in corporate, product and global brand development work, you can save $100 USD on your total entry cost by submitting your projects by 10 April. If you subscribe to Transform magazine here, you will save $150 USD and get your fifth entry for free by entering by this early entry deadline.

This year’s entry deadline is 29 May, with the late entry deadline falling on 24 July (a late entry surcharge of $125 USD will be applied to entries missing the 29 May deadline). To help craft your winning submissions, download the entry and information guide, or contact Paige Davies for guidance.
