Meet the campaigns in the running for Europe’s leading digital advertising awards and join us in Amsterdam as we reveal the winners live
IAB Europe is delighted to announce the MIXX Awards Europe 2026 shortlist, recognising some of the most creative, innovative and effective digital advertising work from across Europe.
Now celebrating its 15th year, the MIXX Awards Europe continue to recognise the campaigns, teams and organisations setting the standard for digital advertising across the region.
Celebrate With Us in Amsterdam
This year, there’s even more reason to celebrate, as the MIXX Awards Europe returns in person to Amsterdam on 8th October.
Taking place at Felix Meritis from 16:00-19:00 CET, the ceremony will bring together brands, agencies and industry peers from across Europe as the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are revealed live, alongside the Grand Prix recognising the outstanding campaign of the year.
This won’t be a traditional sit-down awards dinner. Instead, expect a relaxed, social celebration of Europe’s best digital work, with drinks, light food, entertainment and plenty of time to network with industry peers, clients and collaborators.
Whether you’ve made the shortlist, supported one of the campaigns in the running, or simply want to celebrate brilliant work from across Europe, we’d love you to join us.
