About the event

What is Dubai Lynx?

Dubai Lynx has set the creative benchmark for the Middle East and North Africa since 2007. The festival brings together agencies, brand marketers, production companies, media owners and students to celebrate the best advertising and marketing work in the region. The 2026 edition runs Creativity Week content sessions on 6 and 7 October, followed by the Dubai Lynx Awards ceremony on 8 October, judged by regional and international jurors.

For agencies and brands, a Lynx award or shortlist is valuable proof of creative strength, and it deserves to be seen. Sponsors and winners need quick, polished content on the night: stage and trophy photos, short winner reactions, speaker clips and recap reels that can be shared with clients and teams while the conversation is still live.
