This year, celebrating its 15th edition, Jolbors Festival continues to connect global creative talent with fast-evolving creative industries worldwide, offering agencies and creators the opportunity to gain international recognition and build new creative and business connections.
Jolbors Festival is an international festival of creativity, rooted in Central Asia and growing globally, bringing together agencies, creators, advertisers, marketers, production companies, and branding studios from around the world. What started as a local initiative has grown into a key driver of the creative and advertising industries in Central Asia at a time when the region had limited international visibility and access to global platforms. Over the years, Jolbors has helped build a strong festival ecosystem, supporting agencies, creatives, and independent talent, and contributing to a shift toward greater international exposure – something that not long ago felt almost impossible.
In 2025, Jolbors evolved into an international festival with the launch of Jolbors Awards International, connecting creative communities across regions, elevating industry standards, and staying true to its core mission: to support creative professionals on their path to the top by bringing creators together, celebrating bold campaigns, sharing knowledge, and inspiring creativity that truly matters. Jolbors Awards International is now open for submissions from agencies worldwide.
