The Epica Awards are an annual series of communication awards, created in 1987 and based in Paris, France.[1] Having originally focused on the Europe, Middle East and Africa region exclusively, the awards became global in 2012.[2] 585 agencies in total submitted to work to the Epica Awards in 2015, representing 75 countries.[3]
Epica's aim is to reward outstanding creativity and help communication agencies, film production companies, media consultancies, photographers and design studios to develop their reputations beyond their national borders. The awards are judged during the third week of November by journalists representing the trade press.[4] This jury aims to achieve objectivity and widespread coverage of the results. The best work is also published in the annual Epica Book and shown in the Epica on Tour showcase.[5]
