Global Influencer Marketing Awards Announces New 2026 Grand Prix Categories

For 2026, the Global Influencer Marketing Awards are evolving the way we celebrate world-class creator economy work. So, we’re introducing four dedicated Grand Prix honours to recognise the absolute pinnacle of talent across the globe.

Our new Regional Grand Prix awards replace previous regional entry categories. These prestigious honours cannot be entered directly. Instead, our jury will select winners from the strongest medal-winning campaigns across the entire awards, ensuring each Grand Prix represents true regional mastery.

Our new Regional Grand Prix honours

To spotlight exceptional work across distinct territories, we have created three brand-new Regional Grand Prix titles:

Americas Influencer Marketing Grand Prix: Selected from shortlisted entries, recognising regional excellence across North and Latin America.

In the US, the influencer marketing industry is projected to hit highs of $47.8 billion by the end of the year.

Plus, a compound annual growth rate of 25.1% is expected for the Latin America influencer marketing platform market from 2025 to 2030.

APAC Influencer Marketing Grand Prix: Awarded to the leading campaign in APAC, chosen from a medal position across all categories.

In Asia, AnyTag’s State of Influence in 2026 Report revealed that more influencer campaigns are becoming performance-focused. However, the balance between awareness and performance still varies significantly by each country’s market.

EMEA Influencer Marketing Grand Prix: Awarded to the leading campaign in EMEA, selected from a medal-winning entry across the programme.

Europe accounts for around 26.86% of the global influencer market, as Forbes reported this January. 

Global Influencer Marketing Grand Prix

At the very peak of our awards sits the new Global Influencer Marketing Grand Prix. This honour will be awarded to the single most outstanding campaign worldwide. Selected exclusively from confirmed Gold-winning work, this award is reserved for projects that our jury agrees set an unprecedented benchmark for the entire influencer marketing industry.

We ‘re so excited to read your entries and celebrate the work shaping the future of our industry.
