JUDGED BY THE BEST

Great work deserves an independent and experienced jury.

Pepper Awards 2026 brings together leading professionals from across the creative, advertising, design, media, digital and communication industries.

Many of our jurors have served on the panels of leading international and national awards, including Cannes Lions, LIA, The One Show, D&AD, Adfest and Goafest.

One opportunity to be recognised.

Their experience, perspective and judgement will determine the work that stands apart.
