The International Splash Awards 2025
For the first time since 2019, the International Splash Awards are back (in Europe… DrupalCon Singapore got there first)!
After cancellations due to COVID of the 2020 editions in Barcelona and Minneapolis, the long-awaited return will be in October 2025.
The International Splash Awards 2025 will take place in Vienna in cooperation with DrupalCon Vienna 2025, bringing together numerous agencies and clients from around the world to celebrate outstanding achievements.
A History of the Splash Awards
The Splash Awards were originally created in 2014 by the Dutch Drupal Association to recognize exceptional success stories with Drupal. Since then, they have been adopted in 15 countries worldwide.
Then in 2019, the first International Splash Awards brought together Drupal service providers, agencies and clients from around the world for an exceptional event (📸 See photos, 🔗 Watch the video).
The 2025 edition promises to be just as memorable.
Goals
The awards highlight not only Drupal users, but also clients, marketers, content editors, IT managers, product managers, and marketing executives. They encourage the creation of Drupal case studies and showcase the people and organizations working with Drupal.
These awards not only celebrate the remarkable achievements built on one of the largest and most popular open-source content management systems, but they also recognize the key contributors behind these successes.
Prestige and Credibility
While the Splash Awards are already considered a prestigious national award, one that Drupal agencies strive for, the International Splash Awards compares projects from across the globe.
Organized by leaders in the community and conducted by a jury of industry professionals and community members, only the best Drupal projects receive this highly regarded award. The selection process is rigorous and impartial.
An open call for submissions allows all Drupal agencies, freelancers, and users to nominate projects in various categories. Submissions must adhere to predefined guidelines, which will soon be published on the official International Splash Awards website:
