Submissions Open for Licensing International’s Global Excellence Awards
The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 7
Licensing International, the leading trade association for the $356-billion global brand licensing industry, has opened submissions for the prestigious Licensing International Excellence Awards. Since 1986, this annual celebration has recognized iconic achievements within the global licensing industry, honoring individuals, companies, and innovations that have demonstrated outstanding leadership, creativity, and success over the past year.
Known as the highest achievement in the global brand licensing industry, the Excellence Awards will cover thirty-two categories highlighting products, brands, collaborations, retailers, promotions, and more. Each year, these categories evolve to reflect the dynamic changes within the industry. For 2025, Licensing International introduced a new category aimed at spotlighting the ever-growing impact of fashion and lifestyle brands on the licensing industry.
The final submission deadline is on Friday, February 7. Finalists will be announced during Finalist Week starting on Monday, April 7. Winners will be announced during the Licensing Awards Ceremony at HyperX Arena in Las Vegas on May 19, ahead of Licensing Expo.
Licensing International’s Excellence Awards are the only global recognition of licensing excellence, spanning borders and languages. Our past winners offer a glimpse of the brands and innovations that have shaped our industry over the last three decades.
