The Night the World’s Best Entertainment Marketing Takes the Stage
On Thursday, October 30, 2025, the spotlight turns to the historic Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles for an unforgettable evening honoring the boldest campaigns, the brightest creatives, and the visionaries who power our industry.
Beyond standing as the legacy, industry-driven award for Entertainment Marketing, this year’s show will deliver unforgettable moments, including special honors and the announcement of new GEMA initiatives that will further strengthen and advance our community. For the first time, winners will lift the newly designed GEMA Award statue, a striking symbol of excellence that reflects every facet of entertainment.
And when the last award is presented, the night is just beginning! Step into the GEMA Garden Party, an open-air celebration under the stars where connections spark, ideas flow, and our community comes alive.
Because this isn’t just an awards show. It’s…
Your night. Your industry. Your moment to shine.
