Who Should Enter?

Nominations are now open for the 50 Over Fifty Awards, celebrating exceptional individuals aged 50 and over in the APAC marketing, media, and advertising industry. We are looking for trailblazers with inspiring stories and significant business achievements who are dedicated to driving the industry forward—not only through commercial success but also by promoting inclusivity and positively impacting their communities. This award honours those who continue to innovate and lead, showcasing mentorship and governance that empowers others.

• The nominee must be based in Asia Pacific region.
• The nominee must hold 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 50 or over through Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (inclusive). This translates to a birth date of March 3, 1976, or earlier.
• Eligibility Period: Achievements may include significant contributions throughout the nominee’s career, considered alongside their accomplishments after turning 50. This ensures recognition of both lifetime impact and recent innovations.

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.

We will not consider candidates who have appeared in other Campaign Asia-Pacific listings, such as Women to Watch, Women Leading Change Awards and the Asia-Pacific Power List, if they have already been featured in any of these lists within the last 12 months and ask that candidates wait until 2027.
