Cannes Lions 2025: Here’s every award-winning campaign from Asia-Pacific

This year’s Cannes Lions has officially concluded, with Asia-Pacific showcasing a diverse number of campaigns across the region nabbing various awards from different categories–from film, industry craft, PR, and creative strategy. At the awards, Singapore’s ‘Vaseline Verified’ nabbed a Titanium while ‘The Best Place in the World to get Herpes’ campaign from the Herpes Foundation wins Grand Prix for Good.

In total, APAC is bringing a total of 118 Lions back home, a significant increase from 93 from Cannes Lions 2024, but still falling short of Cannes Lions 2023’s 123. India brought the most Lions home at 32, followed by Australia (28), New Zealand (18), Japan (13), and Singapore (12).
