The Cairns Crocodiles Awards is judged by a panel unlike any other in the industry.
Our jury is led by the people who hold the budgets and carry the business results: predominantly top CMOs from across the Asia-Pacific region. They’re joined by a select group of leading ECDs and CCOs, who bring the craft lens to round out the judging.
The result is a jury that judges work the way it’s judged in the real world: on whether it moved the business, not just how it looks in a case study video.
They’ll be selecting winners based on criteria with more bite and bigger-picture thinking than before.
The Cairns Crocodiles Awards is judged by a panel of brand-side marketers and creative leaders from across APAC. Last year’s jury included senior voices from Coca-Cola, Uber, IKEA, Bunnings, Bonds and American Express, among others.
We’re now inviting Chief Marketing Officers and Chief Creative Officers based in APAC to put themselves forward for the 2027 jury!
Round 1 judging is virtual, rand Round 2 is live at Cairns Convention Centre. We’re accepting applications for both rounds, so let us know which you’d like to be considered for! Our team will review all applications and follow up directly with those selected to join the panel.
