World Communication Awards (WCA) 2025

The World Communication Awards (WCA), organized by Total Telecom, have been a leading global platform for recognizing excellence and innovation in the telecommunications sector since 1999. First launched during the ITU World Telecom event in Geneva, the awards have consistently reflected the evolution of the industry — from early internet-based services to today’s advanced digital infrastructure.

Now in its 27th year, the WCA continues to celebrate organizations and individuals that are driving progress across a broad range of categories, including 5G deployment, AI integration, sustainability, and digital inclusion. Winners are honored at a gala event attended by global telecom leaders and awarded the iconic sail trophy, a longstanding symbol of industry achievement.

Entries for the 2025 World Communication Awards are officially open.
Submission deadline: 4 July 2025
