What are the FOOH Awards?

The annual awards for CGI and 3D mixed reality advertising, explained.

The FOOH Awards are the annual awards recognising the best CGI and 3D mixed reality advertising of the year. Work is entered by category, narrowed down by a jury, and the winners are decided by a public vote — then celebrated in a winners gallery that stays up permanently (see the 2025 winners).

How it works

The awards run in phases across the year:

  1. Submissions — anyone with published FOOH work enters their pieces into a category. Entry is paid, and the window closes on a fixed deadline (see deadlines and pricing).
  2. Jury review — a panel of industry experts reviews every submission in two stages: a longlist first, then a shortlist drawn from it. Not every submission advances; all submitters are notified of their result by email.
  3. Public vote — FOOH.com users vote on the shortlisted entries in each category. You need an account, you get one vote per category, and you can vote for your own work. Voting is open for a set window after the shortlist is announced.
  4. Winner announcement — the most-voted entry in each category wins. Winners are announced on FOOH.com, receive a physical trophy, and are featured prominently across the site and our social channels.

So the jury decides who makes the cut, and the FOOH community decides who wins.

Don't confuse this with the FOOH Impact Score — that's the quality badge shown on individual library entries, and it has nothing to do with how the awards are judged.

Who can enter

Anyone with published FOOH work — studios, freelancers, agencies, and brands. You submit work straight from your FOOH portfolio, so the first step is getting your entries uploaded and published (see "Sharing Your Work" if you haven't).
