US International Awards has announced the winners of its 2026 edition, which brought 94 awards in the categories of corporate video, online and social media content, documentaries and reports, and art direction and craft.
Among the awarded projects were works created for some of the most prominent international organizations and brands, including Michelin, Ford Motor Company, Deloitte Global, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Switzerland Tourism, Austria Tourism, Go Türkiye, Atlético de Madrid, L’Oréal Research & Innovation, Booking.com, UEFA, Ottawa Tourism, SWISS Air Lines, FC Barcelona, TVN Warner Bros. Discovery Poland and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
The competition’s highest honors, Grand Awards, are awarded among works that had previously won gold. In the corporate video category, the award went to Comandante y Cartón, a work realized by Atlético de Madrid in collaboration with the agency Sra. Rushmore. The Christmas campaign, told through the story of two dogs, promotes responsible pet adoption and combines emotional storytelling with a clear social message.
The Grand Award in the online and social media content category went to the project Swiss Sounds by Thylacine, created for Switzerland Tourism. The project follows French electronic musician Thylacine on a 16-day journey through Switzerland, where he transforms the sounds of trains, boats, cable cars and natural landscapes into an original musical composition inspired by the country.
In the documentaries and reports category, the highest honor went to Stolen Children, a production by TVN Warner Bros. Discovery (Poland). The investigative documentary deals with a decades-long baby trafficking network in Georgia, following journalist Tamuna Museridze in her search for her own origins, while also uncovering a story that marked thousands of families.
Special awards were presented to organizations that achieved the most notable results across their overall submissions. Switzerland Tourism was named Client Company of the Year, Monte Nero Productions GmbH from Austria was named Production Company of the Year, Wien Nord Serviceplan Agency of the Year, and TVN Warner Bros. Discovery Poland TV Network of the Year.

Kammel, director of US International Awards.“The 2026 entries reflected both technical excellence and a genuine willingness to take creative risks. We congratulate all of this year’s winners and finalists on work that continues to raise the bar for the industry.”
