What makes the PHNX Awards different?

From the beginning, we’ve designed the PHNX to be accessible and easy to enter, with a limited number of carefully chosen categories and a diverse jury like no other. Its aim is to celebrate the year’s best work in a spirit of generosity and optimism. Yes, it’s a competition – but above all it’s a celebration!

What can I enter?

Film, print, radio, activations, PR case studies, design... all the main creative disciplines.

The competition is open to advertising agencies, PR agencies, film production companies, media agencies, design studios, photographers, freelance creatives and advertisers worldwide.

To ensure accessibility (while paying some people like the guys who wrote this website) the competition is initially free to enter, with a fee of just 180 euros per entry ONLY IF THE ENTRY IS SHORTLISTED

What do I win?

There will be Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, as well as five Grand Prix winners. The trophies will be virtual, but we’ll sing your praises on the heavily-trafficked AdForum site and among our extensive press community. Not to mention in an online celebration on June 16.

Eligibility

Entries must have been approved by a client and broadcast, published or taken place between March 2022 and May 2023.

Categories

The PHNX Awards are craft-focused. The five main areas are Film, Print, Strategy & Technique, Digital and Design, with sub-categories for each. See a full list of the 31 categories here.
