Transform Awards Asia 2024 open for entries

Following a decade of promoting the transformative power of brand design, creativity and design in Asia, the Transform Awards are back once again. It remains the only awards programme on the continent dedicated to recognising best practice in corporate, product and global brand development work. And now’s your chance to enter.

The Transform Awards was delighted last year to return to China, where the work of agencies both small and large were benchmarked. A wonderful evening at the W Shanghai – The Bund was capped off with Coffee Commune and MetaDesign China Limited winning the highly coveted ‘Grand prix.’ Meanwhile, Beijing Xin Long Fu Cultural Investment Co. Ltd. and JWDK’s excellent work did not go unnoticed, scooping up the ‘Best overall visual identity.’

In order to emulate the success of 2023’s big winners, entrants must impress Transform’s panel of industry expert judges. Last year’s cohort hailed from a wide variety of notable organisations including The Coca-Cola company, Google and Intel India.

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 on your total entry cost by submitting your projects by 26 April. If you subscribe to Transform magazine here, you will save $150 and get your fifth entry for free by entering by this early entry deadline.

This year’s entry deadline is 7 June, with the late entry deadline falling a fortnight later on 21 June (a late entry surcharge of $125 will be applied to entries missing the 7 June deadline).
