The Awards Ceremony will serve as the annual gathering point for the region’s creative leaders to celebrate the year’s most awarded work across the MENA region.

Dubai Lynx has confirmed that its 2026 Dubai Lynx Awards ceremony and winners announcements will take place on 8 October.

The Awards Ceremony will serve as the annual gathering point for the region’s creative leaders to celebrate the year’s most awarded work across the MENA region, with additional initiatives taking place around that week, including See It Be It MENA, the Young Lynx Competitions, and two full days of industry content.

The decision to reschedule the dates follows ongoing monitoring of current developments in the UAE.

Kamille Marchant, Festival Director, Dubai Lynx, said: “We remain focused on delivering an exceptional experience and we look forward to bringing together our creative community – including our international juries – to honour the best work, celebrate future talent and be part of meaningful conversations.”

Further information will be shared directly with those who have already booked seats for the Awards Ceremony.

Earlier this year, Dubai Lynx confirmed that the honour of 2026 Advertiser of the Year would be handed to the UAE Government Media Office. This prestigious accolade recognises organisations that have set themselves apart through innovative marketing campaigns and a commitment to embracing outstanding creative work produced by themselves or their agencies. The Advertiser of the Year Award will be presented to Khaled AlShehhi, Executive Director of Marketing and Communication, UAE Government Media Office.
