Launched in 2010, the Lovie Awards is the most prestigious award celebrating digital creativity from Europe – recognising excellence in the fields of culture, technology and business. The Lovie Awards is the only pan-European award of its kind, boasting a judging academy of our region’s leading innovators, who review work across seven languages: Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French, German, Swedish and English.
Being recognised by the Lovie Awards is an enormous achievement; it makes your work stand out in your market, and on the global stage, alongside past winners. A Lovie Award ensures that your work receives media coverage from leading outlets such as BBC, Future Party, Condé Nast, Dagens Media, It’s Nice That, Le Monde, Werben & Verkaufen and more – opening you up to our global network to build new business relationships. There are so many reasons to enter the 14th Annual Lovie Awards. Explore how participating can elevate your work, ahead of the end of our Summer Grace period on Friday, 13th September!
