The final entry deadline for Effie Awards Ukraine 2025 closes on September 30, but for those who haven’t had the chance to prepare their applications, the organizing committee is giving one more opportunity – an extra deadline running until October 7. Please note that entries submitted during this period are subject to the corresponding higher fee.
Effie is not just a competition; it is the gold standard of marketing effectiveness. Here, it’s not about fancy words or striking visuals in isolation – the jury is looking for tangible results: how much the campaign impacted the business, the brand and the market.
In 2025, the content covers 93 categories (40 industry and 53 special). This means every team can find their niche and showcase a unique approach. Participation is open to advertisers and agencies, with projects eligible if implemented in Ukraine between January 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025. For the Sustained Success category, entries are accepted for cases running since 2022 or earlier.
Key dates for those who want to prove their marketing ideas truly work:
The most effective campaigns will be revealed on November 28, 2025, at the Effie Gala, where the leaders of the effectiveness rankings of communication and media agencies, advertising and communication groups, as well as the most successful advertisers and brands of Ukraine will be announced. On this evening, the top teams in the Best Marketing Teams ranking and the winner of the "Communications Agency of the Year 2025" title will also be presented.
Don’t miss your chance to make a statement. Effie Awards Ukraine is not just about winning a prestigious trophy – it’s about entering the history of effectiveness and joining the community of the strongest marketing teams in Ukraine.
