Eligibility

Who Should Enter?

Calling all rising stars and those destined to make a big mark in APAC’s marketing, media, and advertising arena: Nominations are now open for our eleventh-annual list of standouts.

We are looking for people who have inspirational stories. People who can rightly boast about undeniable business achievements. People who are passionate about helping to drive the industry forward—not just in terms of business success but also in terms of the welfare of the people working in the industry, in terms of making the industry welcoming to people currently excluded from it, and in terms of making their communities and the world better places. Successful nominees will have proven successes in the past 12 months, a strong trajectory in their own careers, an ability to lead others to perform and an ability to inspire. Does that sound like you, or someone you know?

We invite you to put forward yourself, or up to two people from your own regional agency network or company.

Find out if you are eligible to enter:

  • The nominee must be based in Asia Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand).

  • The nominee must be holding a job in an industry directly related to advertising and marketing. This means that in addition to a brand or agency, the nominee can work for a media company, a technology firm, a startup, or an event company — so long as their role relates to marketing, advertising, and/or communications.

  • The nominee must have been aged 39 or under through Thursday, 14 September 2023 (inclusive). This translates to a birth date of 15 September 1983, or later.

  • Important Notes:

    You may nominate up to two people from your company or agency per market that your company operates in. To be clear, this means that if you are with a company that has multiple brands/agencies, you can nominate up to two people per brand/agency per market.

    While we will consider candidates who have appeared in Women to Watch before, or in other Campaign Asia-Pacific listings, such as Women Leading Change Awards and the Asia-Pacific Power List, we do ask that candidates wait until 2024 if they have already been featured in any of these lists within the last 12 months. If, however, the candidate will no longer meet the age requirements in a year’s time, we will consider the nomination this year.
