The starter gun has fired on late entries for this year’s Cairns Crocodiles Awards! Unlike Spikes Asia, Cairns Crocodiles Awards are marked by leading CMOs across the Asia-Pacific region, which means that the work that keeps brands winning is awarded, not work purely designed to win awards.
If your agency feels aggrieved by Spikes, stick your entry into Crocs, where the winners are more likely to have a lasting bite.
For example, last year’s Cairns Crocodiles Awards Grand Prix Winner was McDonald’s Dare To Play by Akcelo and OMD. This campaign reached 40.2 million people and delivered a 50 per cent lift in the average in-store basket at McDonald’s. A real campaign that works for marketers, not just a creative agency’s trophy cabinet.
But don’t delay — there is one more week to get your entries in.
Enter the 2026 Cairns Crocodiles Awards today! Late entries close next Tuesday, 24 March.
