MIXX Awards Europe 2026 Entry Deadline Extended to 31st July

Some Stories Are Worth Telling Properly

Great campaigns deserve more than a last-minute awards entry.

That's why we've extended the MIXX Awards Europe 2026 deadline to 31st July, giving you one more week to refine your submission and put your work in front of Europe's leading digital advertising experts.

If your campaign deserves a place among Europe's best, now's the time to enter.

Every year, the MIXX Awards Europe recognise the ideas that combine strategy, creativity and measurable effectiveness to move the industry forward. Winning a MIXX Award is more than industry recognition - it's a benchmark of excellence judged by some of Europe's most respected leaders in digital advertising.

If your campaign has already proven itself nationally through an IAB MIXX Awards programme, or is eligible via the alternative entry route where no national programme exists, this is your chance to compete on the European stage.

One More Week to Make Your Work Count

Award entries are often the last thing busy teams find time for. Campaigns are delivered, results are celebrated internally, and before long, everyone is focused on the next brief.

The extension to 31st July offers a valuable opportunity to step back, tell the story behind your work and give it the recognition it deserves.

The strongest entries aren't always the biggest campaigns or those with the largest budgets. They're the ones that clearly explain the challenge, the strategic thinking, the creative execution and most importantly, the impact they delivered.

Before You Submit, Hear Directly From This Year's Judges

If you're refining your entry, our latest blog shares practical advice from members of the MIXX Awards Europe 2026 Jury, who review hundreds of submissions every year.

From the importance of strategic clarity and consumer insight to demonstrating genuine business results, they reveal what consistently separates shortlisted work from the rest.

Make the Most of the Extra Time

Before submitting your entry, remember to:

  • Read the Entry Notes carefully.
  • Tailor your submission to the category you're entering.
  • Support your results with clear evidence.
  • Check all campaign, brand and agency details before final submission.
  • Watch the platform demo if you're entering for the first time.

A little extra preparation can make a significant difference when your work is being reviewed by Europe's most senior digital advertising leaders.

Looking Ahead to Amsterdam

This year's winners will be celebrated at the MIXX Awards Europe Ceremony on 8th October 2026 at Felix Meritis, Amsterdam, marking the return of the awards to an in-person celebration.

Under this year's theme:

Once In. Always In.

Winning a MIXX Award means more than taking home a trophy. It means joining a community of campaigns that continue to set the benchmark for digital advertising excellence across Europe.
