The International ANDY Awards Announces The 2026 PACIFIC Regional Jury

We’re beyond excited to reveal the 2026 PACIFIC Regional Jury. A powerhouse lineup of creative leaders ready to spotlight the boldest, brightest, and most original ideas coming out of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.

Now celebrating its fifth year, the ANDYs Regional Competitions give agencies in each region a chance to enter for free, yep, free! and test their work locally before taking it to the global stage. It’s all about recognizing authentic regional voices first… and then turning the volume way up for the world to hear

If your work makes the shortlist, you’ll only pay to move on to the Global Awards, where your regional chair will champion your idea to the full global jury.
