This year, your work was considered by 48 of Australia’s leading Creative, Art and Design Directors, strategists and craft specialists across film, sound, post and photography.
Ten panels. Serious talent. Serious experience. And the kind of sharp, independent perspective your work deserves.
Leading the room as our 2026 Chair of Judges was Nils Eberhardt, Executive Creative Director at Special Group Australia.
Having worked across Australia and Germany, Nils has created work recognised at every major international award show. He brought that breadth of experience — and an uncompromising eye for great ideas — to this year’s judging.
Alongside Nils was an extraordinary line-up of award winners, agency founders, Executive Creative Directors, filmmakers, photographers, designers, strategists, editors, sound experts and more.
Forty-eight judges. Ten panels. One enormous responsibility.
We’re incredibly grateful to every judge who gave their time, expertise and considered attention to this year’s entries.
