Season 4 Winners
DANDA Awards Season 4 winners were announced on Instagram, Threads and X (formerly Twitter) on December 15, 2025.
Submissions were reviewed for their design, aesthetics and production values, by a panel of industry professionals during our October 30 through November 14, 2025 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 4 winners by format and category:
