Transform Awards Asia 2023 open for entries

Celebrating the tenth year of the awards programme, Transform magazine is delighted to announce it is officially open for this year’s entries. For the past decade Transform Awards Asia has been the only awards programme in the region that celebrates the transformative power of brand strategy, creativity and design.

Last year’s winners represented the very best in corporate, product and global brand development work. Scooping up the highly coveted ‘Grand prix’ award, the Asian Football Federation and FutureBrand were the stars of the show in Singapore. The “amazing design concept”, as described by one judge, set a sky-high benchmark for years to come. Additionally, Stella Pharm and Bratus Agency capped off a fantastic awards night with their exceptional project taking home the ‘Best overall visual identity’.

Aiming to discover 2023’s standout projects, Transform’s panel of independent industry experts will go through each and every entry before creating a shortlist of the agencies and companies that excelled in creative or strategic branding work.

The winners of the Transform Awards Asia will be announced in November 2023.
