What are the Community Awards?

The Community Awards are a new, community-driven awards ceremony for creatives. No pay-to-play nonsense, no need to have worked on a million-euro commercial. We focus on true up-comers, self-initiated work, and smaller but more impactful campaigns that showcase fresh ideas and individuality.

In some traditional ceremonies, success can depend on how much money you’ve spent on a flashy campaign or even just to submit your nomination (yes, we’re talking about those hundreds in euros in nomination fees), the Community Awards focus on what really matters: creativity, individuality, and personal impact. With free nomination entries and an inclusive gala.

Yes! Anyone who loves creativity, innovation, and community. Whether you’re looking to be entertained, a creative looking to growh their network or an industry enthusiast who's simply curious to see what the next generation of talent has to offer: you’re welcome to join. Tickets are only available through Paradiso.
