Editor’s Notes:
This short video takes you back to a defining moment in Motion Awards™ history, our 2020 livestream, produced during lockdown to honor the community when gathering in person wasn’t possible.
As we look ahead, we’re hoping to bring The Motion Awards™ Live back — a real-world celebration where winners, nominees, and loved ones can come together and share the moment.
It’s not official yet… but we’re working toward it.
Re-live The Motion Awards Live here →
Since 2016, The Motion Awards™ have honored the very best in Motion Design — from groundbreaking student work to global campaigns seen by millions.
Thousands of entries submitted and celebrated globally since 2016.
Trophies shipped to studios and artists around the world.
A decade of elevating the craft we love.
And while the 10-year anniversary of The Motion Awards™ is coming in 2026, next year marks the beginning of a new chapter, one we’re already laying the groundwork for now.
But today, we’re focused on the present, and the final stretch.
The Final Submission Stage Is Now Open
To give creators around the world one last opportunity to join this year’s celebration, we’ve launched the Late Submissions stage, now open through August 25.
Late submission fee: $498 per entry
Bonus: All entries submitted during this period will receive one additional free submission.
Already submitted? Check your inbox, we’ve sent a code to thank you for being part of the journey early.
Whether you’re a student in Warsaw, a studio in Mexico City, or a freelancer in Tokyo, this is your invitation to be part of something bigger than an award show.
This is more than an awards show.
It’s a movement built by the Motion Design community — and it’s only just getting started.
