The national winners include R K SWAMY, which was recognised in both the Advertising and Tech Innovation categories for its work on Himalaya Babycare. Associated Advertising received the award in the Government category for the T-Safe Awareness Campaign for Telangana Police, while Ramesh Narayan was honoured in the Industry Leader category.

The national entries were assessed by a panel including Shreyams Kumar, President of the Indian Newspapers Society; Rana Baruah, President of The Advertising Club; Abhishek Karnani, President of IAA India Chapter; and Ajay Kakkar of Adani Group.
