The jubilee, fifth edition of the Forum will take place from May 28 to 31, 2026, in Kotor, with its central event once again being CIM AWARDS 2026 – accolades recognizing the most significant projects and ideas in the region’s creative industries.

CIM AWARDS represent far more than a trophy. They serve as confirmation of relevance, impact, and high professional standards. It is where creativity receives recognition from industry experts and where outstanding projects gain the visibility they truly deserve.

This year, the winners will be selected by an independent international jury composed of 20 renowned experts from the fields of creative industries, media, communications, and culture. Transparency, expertise, and objectivity remain the core principles of the selection process, further strengthening the award’s credibility.

“CIM AWARDS are not just recognition for achievements – they are a signal of where the region is heading and which ideas are shaping its creative future,” the organizers of CIM Forum stated.

The fifth anniversary edition of CIM Forum confirms the event’s stability and long-term vision as a meeting point for creative industries, culture, and new generations of professionals. CIM AWARDS 2026 place special emphasis on young creatives, authors, teams, and agencies, offering them the opportunity to have their projects recognized, rewarded, and positioned on the regional map of excellence.

If you completed a project in the past year that made a real impact, now is the time to showcase it where it belongs.
