Submit Your Work – The Competition Begins !
7.3.—22.8.25
The Golden Drum Festival calls for entries. Works aired, published, or publicly released for the first time between 22 August 2024 and 22 August 2025, are eligible to compete for the prestigious Golden Drum awards.
Agencies, advertisers, media companies and creatives from 42 countries are invited to submit their best work by 22 August 2025, across six sections: One-Channel Drum, Omni-Channel Drum, Craft Drum, Creative Media Excellence Drum, Creative Business Excellence Drum and a special All Juries Section. The main competition’s only group open to entries from around the world is the ‘Game Changer’, a special group designed for campaigns that break away from traditional advertising approaches.
Golden Drum will again celebrate crème de la crème of the advertising industry in October in Portorož. The festival’s new visual identity, “Eye.Sea.You.” embodies creativity’s essence—seeing beyond the ordinary and connecting ideas in unexpected ways. We believe that showcasing your best work at Golden Drum, will not only capture the creative industry’s attention but also inspire, influence, and shape the future trends together.
