Participants can send in max. 6 cases: • 2 different blog post in two different thematic categories (see below) • 1 image for Image of the Year • 1 video for Video of the Year • 1 post for Social Post of the Year • 1 video for Social Video of the Year Go to the "participate" page to submit your cases. Submitting cases is possible until November 17th, end of day.

Your case does not necessarily have to be a campaign. If you have travelled somewhere, without it being a cooperation, you can still use the content you created as a case. We are looking for the best travel content. So whether it is a marketing campaign or a personal story, both can be used to participate.

Yes, your submitted case has to be one from 2025.

The deadline for subscription is Monday 17 November 2025, end of day.

Every case will be evaluated by a professional jury. They will use several criteria to grade each case, but they will mainly focus on the content. On December 17th, the nominees per category will be announced. This also means your fans and followers can start voting for the audience choice award. The winners of the other categories will be chosen by our professional jury. All winners will be revealed during the event on 7 January 2026.

The Audience Choice Award will be chosen out of all blog submissions. If you apply for one blog category, you automatically apply for the Audience Choice Award as well.

Keep in mind that if you click on one of the images of the different categories on the homepage, you get some more information about that specific category as well.
