About the Awards

With the Hashtag Asia Awards, we’re rewriting the social media narrative. Join us in celebrating the extraordinary innovators, creators, and game-changers who have transformed the landscape. Get ready to witness greatness!

This is the definitive awards programme for social media practitioners on both the client, agency and influencer side. Designed to recognise outstanding social media across Asia, there are 42 enterable categories offered to reflect the diverse industries, platforms, and influencers across the social media spectrum.

Judged by social media professionals who have lived and / or worked in Asia, the awards present the perfect opportunity to not only showcase your best work to the wider industry but increase your credibility and claim your position at the forefront of success.

Every entry will be judged fairly and objectively, regardless of budget, scale, or resources. Each submission will be assessed on its own merits, ensuring a level playing field for both large and small companies. Judges will not review entries where a conflict of interest exists, including those from their own organisation or direct competitors.

The finalists will be publicly announced and congratulated across MARKETING-INTERACTIVE’s platforms, including websites, newsletters and social media.

The winners will be revealed on 8 May 2026, with finalists competing for Gold, Silver or Bronze trophies in each category. The brand with the highest number of winning entries will earn the coveted titles of Overall Agency HashMaster & Overall Brand HashMaster respectively. All winners will be featured across MARKETING-INTERACTIVE’s platforms.

Making it to the shortlist of the Hashtag Asia Awards is a huge achievement and serves as both an affirmation of the quality of your work among competitors and peers, and also as a crucial in-house tool to celebrate the wealth of talent and expertise in your digital marketing team.

Showcase your hard work and celebrate your teams with the recognition they deserve!

Entries will close on 6 February 2026 so start your entries today!
