FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

2027 NYX Awards Opens Global Entries for Its 11th Year of Marketing and Communications Recognition

(INTERNATIONAL — October 30, 2026) — The 2027 NYX Awards, presented by the International Awards Associate (IAA), has officially opened submissions, beginning its 11th year as an international platform for communication achievements defined by the influence they create and the outcomes they produce.

Participation is open worldwide to the professionals and organizations responsible for developing strategic and creative communications, from global networks and in-house departments to specialist studios, production companies, and independent practitioners.

Recognition Centered on Influence and Impact

Effective communication earns attention and turns it into stronger awareness, changed perceptions, deeper connections, or decisive action. The NYX Awards recognizes the strategy, creativity, and execution responsible for producing that effect.

The 2027 program covers four principal areas: Advertising & Brand Creativity, Strategic Communications & Marketing, Digital & Experiential Media, and People, Teams & Organizations.

Together, these areas welcome advertising initiatives, marketing programs, public relations, branded content, corporate communications, websites, video, social media, podcasts, immersive experiences, and the individuals and teams responsible for bringing them to life.

“Influence is established through what communication changes after it reaches its intended audience,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA. “It may reshape perception, strengthen a connection, inspire participation, or drive a clear result. The 2027 NYX Awards recognizes the ideas and professionals capable of translating communication into impact across industries, markets, and platforms.”

What Recognition in NYX Represents

Successful entries may receive the NYX Grand, NYX Gold, or NYX Silver distinction according to their official evaluation scores.

Each submission is evaluated independently on its objectives, relevance, quality, execution, and demonstrated effect. This structure allows achievements of different scales, formats, and budgets to be evaluated according to what they were created to accomplish.

For award winners, a NYX distinction provides an international credential that can be presented across agency credentials, brand communications, client materials, and professional profiles. It also recognizes the contributions of the teams and individuals behind each achievement.

Begin Your 2027 Submission

Early Bird entry rates are available through December 3, 2026. Entrants may secure their submissions during this period, then continue refining their entry materials until the Final Extension Deadline on March 4, 2027.

The Regular Deadline falls on January 6, followed by the Final Deadline on February 3. Winners will be announced on April 30, 2027.
