SPOTLIGHT ON SUCCESS

The annual Licensing International Excellence Awards have been a highlight of the year for the global licensing community since 1986, when industry leaders first gathered to celebrate the creativity and accomplishments of their colleagues.

The Excellence Awards have grown over the last three decades, alongside the industry they honor, serving not only to showcase exceptional work but also as a time capsule of licensing through the years. 

We are exceptionally excited to celebrate with you in 2023!

A GLOBAL AWARD FOR A GLOBAL INDUSTRY

The Licensing International Excellence Awards are the only international recognition of licensing excellence, spanning borders and languages.

In 2022, we received nearly 800 entries from 20 countries around the world. Ultimately, 165 nominees were selected before the 2022 Winners were named.

Nominees are selected by a judging panel of 150 industry experts from around the world who are identified by Licensing International officials. The Licensing International membership then choose their favorites, with those votes factored into the final decision. 

Submissions and judging for the Excellence Awards are as usual conducted fully online in this portal, allowing easy accessibility for entrants and judges from around the world.
