One Asia Creative Awards 2023 opens call for entries

The One Club for Creativity has opened the call for entries for the 2023 One Asia Creative Awards, which aims to celebrate excellence in creativity throughout all of Asia Pacific.

The theme for the awards this year is “the best of the region, on display to the world”. 

After seven years of running The One Show Greater China, the club had expanded the scope of the awards in 2021 as One Asia to include all of Asia Pacific. Entries were received last year from 19 countries and regions in APAC, with winners representing 14.  

Eligible countries and regions for ONE Asia are: Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, mainland China, East Timor, Hong Kong-SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macau-SAR, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan-China, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Entry fees for One Asia 2023 increases after each deadline period. Early entry deadline is July 28, 2023, with the regular deadline as August 31, 2023, extended deadline September 8, 2023, and final deadline being September 15, 2023.

One key element of One Asia is that points for winners are included in The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings.

One Asia awards won by agencies and brands will now gain them international recognition in their own right, and contribute to regional and global network and holding company rankings totals.  

New this year for One Asia are:

• Separate new disciplines for IP & Product Design, and Creative Use of Data.
• Print & Out of Home is now split into two disciplines: Print & Promotional, and Out of Home; both include a category for Craft.
• A new discipline for Innovation, and Innovation categories added to each discipline
• Digital Craft discipline is now Interactive & Mobile Craft, with additional categories.
• Film & Video Craft discipline is now Moving Image Craft & Production, with additional categories.

Juries will be announced shortly. First round pre-judging will be done online at the end of September, and final in-person judging in Shanghai takes place in October. 

Finalists will be announced in November, while Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced in December.

“From Manila to Mumbai and Shanghai to Sydney, One Asia celebrates the best of creativity throughout Asia-Pacific,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club. “APAC produces some amazing creative work, and it’s through One Asia that the world will experience it.”
