Licensing International opens submissions for 2025 Excellence Awards

Industry trade association, Licensing International has officially opened submissions for the 2025 Licensing International Excellence Awards.

The Licensing International Excellence Awards – which will take place on 19 May 2025, to kick off Licensing Expo in Las Vegas – recognize the most influential and innovative brands, manufacturers, agents and retailers from around the world. The 2025 Excellence Awards are supported by sponsor Alifish.

There are 33 awards categories including the Members’ Choice Award, which honours exceptional innovation within a brand or product to foster deeper engagement. For 2025, the awards categories have been expanded to better reflect the constantly evolving nature of the licensing industry. This includes a new category recognising fashion and lifestyle brands.

Submissions can be made on Licensing International’s awards portal. Early bird pricing ($100 per submission for members and $170 for non-members) is available until 31 January 2025. After that date, pricing will increase to $150 per submission for members and $220 for non-members until the deadline for entries on 7 February 2025.

Last year, Licensing International received more than 800 submissions. Ultimately, more than 200 finalists were selected before the 2024 winners were named.
