London International Awards (LIA), one of the world’s prestigious Global Creative Awards and part of the WARC Creative 100 Rankings, is pleased to reveal its 2026 Global and Regional Of The Year Winners.
At its recent 41st annual judging, which convened over ten days at Encore @ Wynn in Las Vegas, top creative practitioners from all over the world judged every piece of work on-site. With no pre-judging, all jurors saw every submission in their respective categories, deliberated and thoughtfully evaluated the work before narrowing it down to the statue winners and finalists. This practice at LIA ensures that judging is absolutely transparent and fair. And that no work gets overlooked.
The points attained from all Grand LIAs (100 points), Golds (40 points), Silvers (15 points), Bronzes (5 points) and Finalists (1 point) contribute to the Of The Year Awards, regardless of entering company. We use company credits input at time of entry to calculate these points. We do NOT calculate the Entrant field.
After a meticulous and thorough calculation of the points assigned to Winners and Finalists, LIA is proud to announce this year’s prestigious ‘Of The Year’ Winners.
