Transform magazine: Transform Awards Europe 2025 is now welcoming entries – 2025

Transform Awards Europe is proud to announce that it is open for nominations. Now in its 14th edition, it remains the only awards program to celebrate the transformative power of branding, creativity and design across Europe, making it an important day in the calendar of all brand strategists and design agencies.

Recognizing best practices in business, product and global brand development, the categories focus on strategy, execution, content and evaluation. The 2025 awards program saw fierce competition for best overall visual identity, with Pink Green winning the award for its project with new post-trade investment brand, OSTTRA.

Meanwhile, the awards night ended with Kimpton Creative beating all the nominees for the coveted Grand Prize for their work with creative recruitment experts, Mustard. Considered a project unlike anything else in its class, the design agency set the bar high for a prestigious and thrilling awards night.

Once again, the jury of the Transform Awards Europe 2025 will be made up of the best experts in the field of branding, marketing, advertising and corporate communication. They will create a shortlist that will recognize agencies and companies that have excelled in their branding work, before finally deciding who will win Highly commended, Bronze, Silver and Gold in their respective categories.

New categories for 2025 include “Best Expression of a Brand on Social Media”, as well as a section of special recognition categories, including “Brand Strategist of the Year”, “Creative Director of the Year” and ‘Young contestant of the year.’

Andrew Thomas, Founder of the Transform Awards programme, says: “Transform Awards Europe is truly a celebration. Yes, we honored great work by celebrating the transformative power of brand strategy and design. But also, after two years of separation, uncertainty and, for some, loss, we have finally come together, come together to celebrate with our colleagues, clients and peers. The Transform Awards are truly something to celebrate, and I am confident that the Transform Awards Europe 2025 will surpass anything seen before in terms of quality, diversity and overall brand excellence.
