CICLOPE’s judging process consists of two rounds.

The first one is undertaken by the Grand Jury and Executive Jury, who watch and rank the entries on CICLOPE’s online platform. The best-ranked entries in each category will be considered finalists.

In the second round of judging, the Executive Jury personally met in Berlin to discuss the finalist pieces and award Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies to the best work in each category. The jury reserves the right not to award the categories, if the quality of the work submitted does not meet a minimum standard. The panel will also have the chance to award Grand Prix to the most outstanding entries in the competition.

Winners were announced on a live awards ceremony on October 9th, 2025, celebrated in Berlin. To attend, you need a Full Pass for CICLOPE Festival.

Once the jury selects the winners, we will get in touch with the entrant company to share the good news. In the awards ceremony, Gold winners will go on stage to collect their trophies. In case the winner can’t make it to the event, we will send the trophy by mail the week after the festival.
