An open celebration of a year's worth of brilliant branding and creative excellence. Part exhibition, part award show – where we gather to review, appreciate and recognise the stand-out work happening right here in the East.

This is Norwich's moment to showcase what makes our branding scene different.

Gather is where the work gets seen. Where the year's best brand stories, identities, campaigns and transformations are exhibited, celebrated and awarded. If your work is shortlisted, it becomes part of the festival – displayed throughout the day at The Forum for the industry to appreciate.

Then, as the day culminates, a panel of judges from across the UK will crown the winners at an evening ceremony.

It's recognition. It's exposure. It's proof that world-class branding happens here.

Five Categories

Brands as tools for transformation and success
Celebrating talent under 25
