As in previous years, our beautiful BIA Mallet trophies reward bronze, silver and gold standard work, and special new trophies in white and black celebrate the Social Impact and Best of Show awards, respectively.
We have judges from esteemed global agencies and brands including Jones Knowles Ritchie, COLLINS, Wolff Olins, Koto, Design Bridge, 4Creative and more. We will announce our category judges in the coming days and weeks.
In 2025, Best of Show was won by JKR for Centersquare. Following the merger of Evoque and Cyxtera, Centersquare rebranded to redefine what a data brand could be. Moving away from cold, corporate visuals, the new identity centres on “Infinite Flexibility. Absolute Certainty.” to express both stability and adaptability. A dynamic logo, architectural typography, warm colour palette, and custom iconography transform technical infrastructure into an elegant, artistic system.
The Social Impact Award 2025 was won by R/GA for We Are Warriors. Following the defeat of the 2023 Voice referendum, which aimed to give Indigenous Australians a stronger political voice, many Indigenous communities were left disheartened. In response, R/GA launched Take the Crown, a bold initiative designed to reignite national dialogue around colonial power, counter public disengagement, and amplify Indigenous rights in a way that resonated widely.
As the BIAs have long attracted the best talent in the design world, winning a BIA promises industry recognition, and also extensive PR across our network to an extensive audience of digital and print creatives with the guarantee of bespoke marketing collateral.
The Best of Show and Social Impact award winners will will get a dedicated spotlight featured on Creative Bloq – a chance to show off your agency's work.
If you'd like to take part in the BIAs, go to the official Brand Impact Awards website before the closing date of 9 July. You can then enter your own, or your company's standout branding, packaging and campaign work.
