A hallmark of ONE Asia is its partnership with the creative community in a different APAC country each year. In-person ONE Asia 2025 judging will take place in Seoul in October, following similar gatherings the past two years in Manila and Shanghai. 

By rotating the judging location each year, ONE Asia aims to showcase and appreciate the unique cultural contributions of each APAC country, highlight the exceptional work being done there, and strengthen the bonds within the local creative community. 

“At ONE Asia, we believe diversity means bringing together a rich mix of perspectives, across generations, disciplines, and ways of thinking,” said Season Zhou, APAC director, growth and partnerships for The One Club for Creativity.  “This approach not only strengthens our jury, but also aligns with our vision of building a creative community that truly reflects the richness of our region’s creative landscape.”

Entries to the ONE Asia 2025 can be submitted now, with entry fees increasing after each deadline period. The regular deadline July 28th, 2025, extended deadline August 25th, 2025, and final deadline September 12th, 2025.  Finalists revealed in the Fall and winners announced in December 2025.

New for ONE Asia 2025

Notable updates for ONE Asia 2025 include new disciplines for Creative Use of Artificial Intelligence, Media, and OOH, Print & Digital Craft, the return of the Cultural Impact discipline, and changes to existing disciplines including Creative Effectiveness, Gaming, and Use of Humour/Use of Drama.  

This year also represents the launch of ONE Asia Marketer of the Year honours.  This special award will celebrate a top marketing executive or a top marketing team whose leadership has powered exceptional creative work.  Marketer of the Year is non-enterable, and will be awarded to the key marketer or marketing team behind the most awarded work in ONE Asia 2025.

ONE Asia winners have their points recognized in the annual Campaign Brief Asia Rankings, as well as in the ONE Asia Creative Rankings and The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings.

As part of this year’s partnership with South Korea, branding for the ONE Asia 2025 call for entries was created by StudioK110 based in Seoul. Inspired by the bold and spicy world of Korean cuisine, the agency developed the 'Can You Handle the Heat?' campaign.
