Breakthrough on a Budget |
108 Jurors from locations across the Asia Pacific and from a wide range of creative industry disciplines and backgrounds have convened in person, for the first time since 2019, to judge the work.
Jenny Lau, Events Director, Spikes Asia, said, “We are thrilled to announce the shortlists for Spikes Asia this year and to see a return to in-person judging. Many interesting trends have arisen from this year’s entries and we’re excited to see the work that the Juries will go on to award. I’d like to thank our Jurors for all their hard work and dedication to the Spikes Asia Awards, which will set the benchmark for creative excellence across APAC.”
