The Visual Media Association (VMA) has named the finalists for the 2025 Real Media Awards (RMAs), which recognise the striking creativity, excellence and innovative collaborations from Australia’s retailers, brands and agencies.

This year’s RMAs celebrate the best and brightest across more than 30 categories. The full list of finalists can be found here.

“The finalists this year demonstrate how blending creative thinking with production excellence across campaigns enables results that connect meaningfully with audiences,” said Kellie Northwood, chief executive officer of the VMA.

“Thank you to the judging panel, who undertook the challenging task of reviewing an exceptional field in a short timeframe. Their commitment and expertise ensured the finalists truly represent the highest standard of creative and commercial effectiveness.

“Whether through catalogue, packaging, publishing or point of sale, our finalists are producing work that is strategic, impactful and beautifully executed.”

This year’s Gala Night theme “What’s Your Pantone?” invites guests to bring their boldest hues and most creative interpretations to an evening dedicated to colour, craft, and community.

“The night will be a vibrant showcase of award-winning work, peer recognition, and memorable moments, as we honour the teams and partners who make the industry shine,” Northwood added.
