Meet the Winners of the First Azerbaijan Awards

This year marked a new chapter in the festival’s history with the launch of the Azerbaijan Awards for the very first time.

This year, the Azerbaijan Awards received 121 entries across 4 competition tracks, showcasing campaigns, designs, films, digital experiences, and creative projects from the local industry. This local competition introduced a dedicated jury made up of industry professionals from the country, focusing entirely on the Azerbaijani market, culture, and creative landscape. All entries submitted to the festival were evaluated both in the international competition and separately within the Azerbaijan Awards, giving projects the opportunity to be recognized on two different stages.

Following the final judging sessions, the first ever Azerbaijan Awards winners are now officially revealed:
