Opening the Festival of Partnerships
In 2026 the GPMAs kick off the Festival of Partnerships with a brand new networking-led format, bringing the global partnerships community together ahead of PI LIVE.
Win a GPMA and you’ll walk into PI LIVE the next morning with serious bragging rights. And proof your platform, team or partnerships deliver real commercial impact.
Grand Prix Recognition
Alongside the category awards, the GPMAs also recognise the most exceptional work through a series of Grand Prix honours.
New for 2026, judges will award Regional Grand Prix for APAC, EMEA and the Americas. These are selected from the winning entries, recognising standout work across global markets.
Above these sits the Global Grand Prix – the programme’s highest honour, awarded to the single most outstanding piece of partnership-driven work of the year.
Judged by Industry Leaders
Entries are evaluated by an independent judging panel of senior leaders representing brands, agencies, and publishers from across the globe.

A New Format for 2026
As the opening moment of the Festival of Partnerships, the GPMAs are evolving this year.
Moving away from the traditional black-tie dinner, the awards will take place as a late-afternoon celebration the day before PI LIVE, bringing the community together at the start of festival week.
The format puts networking at the centre of the experience – celebrating the year’s best work before moving straight into conversations, introductions, and new partnerships (and perhaps raising a glass with the winners).
