CICLOPE Asia Pacific’s judging process will consist of two rounds. In the first round, the Jury will independently watch and rank all entries on the online Awards platform. The highest-ranked entries in each category will be considered finalists, and will be published in the shortlist on 13 May 2026.

In the second judging round, the Jury will discuss the finalist pieces in a video-call meeting and award the best work/s in each category. The Jury can also award a Grand Prix for the best work of the year in each of the four sections.

Winners will be announced during a live ceremony in May 2026 in Sydney, Australia.

The Awards team will be in touch with the entrant companies of all winning work once judging closes.

Trophies will be presented live onstage to Winners at the Awards Ceremony, and sent out after the event to any companies/individuals who are unable to join us in person.
