Transform Magazine: The list of finalists for the Transform Awards Nordics 2025 revealed – 2025

For the third time in its history, Transform magazine is thrilled to announce the Transform Awards Nordics shortlist. Remaining the only awards program to celebrate the transformative power of rebranding and brand building in the region, the awards night will recognize world-class projects from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and from Sweden.

This year’s shortlist sees fierce competition in a number of categories. No less than five projects will compete for gold in the category “Best visual identity by sector”, while four agencies will compete in the category “Best use of a visual property”.

Gothenburg-based design studio Ojity was shortlisted for its projects with Aurobay, CEVT and IHT in two categories. Meanwhile, B2B creative agency Sköna has five of its projects shortlisted, including in the categories ‘Best Use of Copy Style or Tone of Voice’ and ‘Best Brand Experience’.

An expert panel of independent judges focused on the level of creativity, innovation, strategic excellence and execution of this year’s projects to determine the benchmark of excellence.

Andrew Thomas, publisher of Transform and founder of the award, said: “This is the third year that we have dedicated a Transform Awards program solely to the Nordic market, but this is the first that we will be able to organize in person. Despite the challenges agencies have continued to face, we are very excited about the fabulous range of projects that have come in. We look forward to revealing the winners in August.

Winners will be announced in person at an awards night at the iconic large hotel, Stockholm, Sweden later this year on August 31.

The 2025 Transform Awards Nordics shortlist is as follows:
