The overarching structure of the Kyoorius Awards is to only award work that is worthy of merit. No matter how big the brand, or how small the names behind it, how wide the media reach is or the number of retweets, the ultimate goal is to create outstanding work that works.

With over 34 categories spanning Press Advertising, Outdoor Advertising, Film Advertising, Radio Advertising, Direct Marketing & Activation, Integrated and craft related categories including Art Direction, Craft for Advertising, Film Advertising Craft, the Kyoorius Advertising Awards will reward only the best of the best in each category. This is why Kyoorius Awards have no winning tier structure – no gold, silver or bronze – and it is the jury's prerogative to award one or multiple Blue Elephants in any one category, and none in another if entries are not up to the mark.
