Campaign Asia-Pacific is delighted to announce that entries for the Event Marketing Awards 2026 are now open.
The Event Marketing Awards celebrate the best of Asia-Pacific’s business events community – the creativity, innovation, and meticulous craft that go into building unforgettable experiences across diverse markets.
Judged by an expert panel of seasoned event marketing professionals, the awards recognise brands, agencies, venues, tourism boards, and suppliers that excel in every aspect of event creation – from concept and strategy to flawless execution.
Reflecting how the industry continues to evolve, this year’s awards introduce two new categories: Best ESG Event will celebrate initiatives that embed environmental, social, and governance principles into event strategy and delivery. And Best Festive Experience Event will recognise cultural or celebratory moments that bring communities and brands together.
These additions expand the awards’ scope and acknowledge that the new kinds of experiences define the region’s event landscape.
The competition is open to brands, agencies, venues, tourism boards, and event suppliers across Asia Pacific. Full details on categories, entry criteria, and key dates can be found in the official entry kit.
Whether you delivered a sustainability-first summit, a data-driven brand experience, or an unforgettable cultural activation, this is your chance to shine on the regional stage.
Enter now. Celebrate the work that makes live experiences matter.
