Among the domestic winners, Hanwha Group's 'Solar Beehive' campaign won a silver award in the environmental efforts category and a bronze award in the technology category. This campaign was the first in Korea to create a carbon reduction beehive using solar power, raising awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation and climate change response. It was praised for developing a 'smart beehive' that collects activity data of bees and contributes to research on preserving bee populations by maintaining a stable breeding environment, countering ecosystem collapse caused by the drastic decline in bees. The creative work was recognized for sourcing all power from eco-friendly solar energy, reflecting environmental consciousness.

Innocean's German branch also won one silver award in the travel and leisure category, as well as one bronze award each in the copywriting and automotive categories. The silver-winning work in the travel and leisure category was a campaign created in collaboration with the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center in Budapest, Hungary. By exhibiting legendary war photographer Robert Capa's photos alongside AI-generated incomplete images, the campaign delivered a powerful message that the value of human-photographed images surpasses that of AI.

Additionally, Kia Europe’s campaign won a bronze award in the copywriting category, and Hyundai Motor Europe’s campaign won a bronze award in the automotive category.
