The Swiss Out of Home Award is entering its next round: on 1 September 2026, the submission platform will open for campaigns from throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein. To be in with a chance of winning a coveted award, OOH designs (posters and/or ads) must be submitted online by 30 November 2026 at the latest.
By participating, creatives and clients have the opportunity to present their work to a national expert audience and have it judged by an independent, high-calibre jury. Analogue and digital OOH campaigns created in Switzerland or Liechtenstein are eligible. The competition is free to enter and offers visibility, recognition and the chance to win one of the most prestigious awards in the Swiss communications industry.

The nominated teams will be invited to the award ceremony on 4 March 2027 at the Koni cinema in Zurich. There, individual category winners will be presented with gold, silver and bronze trophies – culminating with the top award, the “Campaign of the Year”.
