New for 2021

Creative Use of Data Recognizes work that demonstrates the fundamental role of data in inspiring, powering and enhancing creative work.

Transformative Business Impact This competition recognizes that creativity does not just live within campaigns, it now plays an influential role in the enduring transformation of businesses including their operations, services, products, internal experiences and customer experiences. This medium doesn’t just recognize work that promotes solutions to customers; it recognizes the solutions themselves.

New Category in Production & Post-Production - Remote Production This category recognizes the efforts made by Brands, Agencies, Production Companies, Consultancies, etc. to facilitate filming in a new way - remotely. Work will be evaluated for the production value and the overall execution taking into consideration the limits that social distancing, travel restrictions and other factors imposed to assure that safety precautions were met during the worldwide pandemic lock-downs. In addition to uploading the work as released, we will accept case studies for this category that tell how the challenges were overcome.

LIA Chinese Creativity Show

The global benchmark for Chinese creativity

LIA Chinese Creativity is the only global award show that celebrates the very best of Chinese-language creativity.

Established by London International Awards, LIA Chinese Creativity expands our legacy to recognise world-class advertising ideas conceived, written and produced in one of the world’s most prominent languages - Chinese.

With a high-calibre panel of the world’s top Chinese-speaking creatives, all entries will be judged to the same international standards as the LIA global show. Winners will be awarded a coveted Red Statue—the same iconic statue as the LIA Global Statue, coated in brilliant red with a Gold, Silver or Bronze base.

What’s more, LIA Chinese Creativity winners are also included in Campaign Brief Asia’s Creative Rankings.

So winning at LIA Chinese Creativity puts you among the creative elite. It means you've created game-changing work and moved the creative needle.

The competition is open to anyone from any country with work that was originally created and launched in Chinese. With this in mind, all work must be entered in its original format with no English-translated ads allowed.

Creative LIAisons

A WEEK LONG IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG CREATIVES.

One thing we know for sure is that the development of young creatives is now more important than ever before. We are working hard to make Creative LIAisons an even more relevant learning experience than in the past.

LIA created the exclusive and sought after Creative LIAisons program in 2012 as a way of giving back to the industry that supports us. LIA covers the costs of air transportation and accommodations for all LIAisons attendees. There are no delegate fees imposed on the attendee or their company.

Open to young creatives ages 21 to 30 from around the globe, LIAisons features seminars, panel discussions and interactive workshops. As Creative LIAisons runs concurrently with LIA Judging, attendees receive one-on-one mentoring from many of the LIA jurors. LIA is the only show that allows these attendees unlimited access to the jury and the invaluable experience to sit in on statue discussions as they occur in real-time.
