Eurobest names 2026 Jury across 28 markets

The line-up includes 16 Jurors from nine Eastern European markets: Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Georgia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine.

Eurobest has announced its 2026 Jury, bringing together creative leaders from 28 markets for the most geographically representative judging line-up in the Awards' history. The juries will meet in London in November to evaluate work and set the benchmark for European creative excellence.

The representation follows increased recognition for creative work from the region at the 2025 Awards, including two first-time wins for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Eastern Europe gains stronger Jury representation

Lithuania and Serbia will join the Jury for the first time in 2026, extending Eurobest's representation across Northern and Southern Europe. Their inclusion adds further markets and cultural perspectives to the judging process.

The Jury includes leaders from brands and platforms such as Uber, LinkedIn, Procter & Gamble, La Poste, Vlisco, Electric Castle, Apple and The LEGO Group, alongside agency and creative business leaders from across Europe.

Creative leaders to judge European work

Simon Cook, CEO, LIONS: "Europe's creative landscape is incredibly varied, and having that reflected in the judging rooms brings invaluable perspectives to the evaluation process. This year's Jury brings together more markets than ever before, and that breadth brings different cultural, commercial and creative contexts into the conversation, resulting in richer debate and a stronger benchmark for the work setting the standard across Europe."

The full Jury line-up is available on the Eurobest website. Entries for the 2026 Awards are open until 15 October 2026.
