BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA – It’s your last chance to compete for fame at Asia’s only international festival of its kind and the largest in scale. The deadline for MAD STARS 2025 will be on June 16, 2025. No extensions
MAD STARS selects judges from the top minds in the creative industries across the globe – with over 350 experts from more than 70 countries participating this year. The festival follows a judging format that sets the global standard for fairness and quality. If you believe your work is world-class, MAD STARS is where it will be recognized.
MAD STARS reviews its categories annually. They reflect current and emerging trends that are up to date. The festival’s categories accurately reflect the kinds of work you are doing, applauding innovative ideas and new ground you’ve broken.
This year, the Pivot category was redefined to focus on AI innovation; The Video Group became the Entertainment Group with subcategories such as Games, Sports, and Music; and a new Culture & Context sector has been added across various categories to applaud standout work that resonates with cultural values and market realities around the world.
