Season 1 Winners

DANDA Awards Season 1 winners were announced on Instagram, Threads and X (formerly Twitter) on June 24, 2024.

Submissions were reviewed for their design, aesthetics and production values, by a panel of industry professionals during our May 17-31, 2024 judging period. Judges scores were totaled and averaged to arrive at a final score for each submission, and awards were determined based on the overall final score, rather than rank in category. 

We're honored to present the following DANDA Awards Season 1 winners by format and category:
