asi New Perspectives Award

Sponsored by 

As accelerating change across the industry calls for fresh thinking, we need to encourage the new voices of emerging talent to help shape the future. We are excited to announce the asi New Perspectives Award, an annual asi award dedicated to promoting the voices of younger contributors. Open to anyone aged 35 or younger this year, the New Perspectives Award for 2026 offers the winner €1,500.00 and the opportunity to present at this year’s asi International Conferences in Venice.

The award is kindly sponsored by Pure X Media. The deadline for submission is Monday 11th May 2026. Click here to find out how to submit.

Just as our Tony Twyman Award acknowledges the contribution he made to the establishment of the asi community, this award is our celebration of the contribution to the industry of Richard Marks, our Research Director for 10 years and a key figure in media research. His ability for presenting complex ideas in an accessible way, his skill as a moderator of many instructive panel sessions and his sharpness as an interviewer for our podcast series, have earned him widespread admiration and respect.

Award Criteria

We are looking for papers that:

  • challenge the conventional – bring a new or unique point of view/perspective;
  • bring to the fore innovations in research techniques, present new research results or data analysis, share the challenges along the way, and illustrate the business impact;

Deadline for submission: Monday 11th May 2026. Click here to apply.
