Who enters the BIAs?

Now in its fifth year, the rich heritage of past BIA winners includes the cream of the global branding industry. Previous best-of-show winners include The Partners (now Superunion) in 2017, Johnson Banks in 2016 and 2015, and Rose in 2014.

But work is judged anonymously on its own merits, and there are studios of all shapes and sizes in the mix – so it's all to play for. The most important thing is that you've created a stellar piece of branding work.

What makes the BIAs different?

The Brand Impact Awards are entirely dedicated to branding, in all its forms. The world-class judging panel is looking for: 

1. A great, original idea that's appropriate for the client
2. Beautiful, consistent and coherent execution of that idea
3. Branding that stands head and shoulders above its market sector 

The BIAs differ from other major awards schemes on three main counts:

1. ENTRIES ARE PUT IN CONTEXT. Projects are judged by market sector, so your work is put in the context for which it was designed.
2. ALL BRANDING IS CONSIDERED. As well as branding from the ground up, we also accept campaigns that extend or enhance existing brands.
3. CONSISTENCY IS REWARDED. Judges will be looking for consistent quality of idea and execution across two or more brand touchpoints.
