Why GCX

A new name for a 25-year standard

For the past 25 years, the CCAS Contact Centre International Awards has been our flagship platform for recognising excellence and advancing service standards across Singapore and APAC.

Customer experience has changed faster in the last three years than in the twenty before them, driven by AI and the technologies built around it. An awards programme that does not move with the industry it measures stops being a benchmark.

So from 2026 the programme becomes the Global Customer Experience Excellence Awards. More than a change of name: stronger benchmarking, categories built around emerging CX capabilities, and international participation, so organisations are measured against leading global players rather than only their neighbours.

Singapore is recognised for innovation, service excellence, efficiency and reliability. That places us well to influence global standards, not just meet them.

The 2026 Cycle

What changed, and what did not

What’s new

  • Three new categories : Best CX Insights & Analytics Organisation, Best Customer Journey Impact, and the Global CX Excellence Award of the Year.
  • Updated submission templates built around clarity and evidence of CX innovation.
  • Enhanced benchmarking through a new scoring model that shows where an organisation stands and where it can grow.
  • Broader participation beyond Singapore and APAC, so submissions are compared against a wider field.

What stays the same

  • Video submission for every Corporate category, specific to the submission and category, not a standard corporate video.
  • Physical, virtual or hybrid judging, assigned by CCAS rather than chosen by the entrant.
  • Statistical data covering a full 12 months where required (May 2025 to April 2026 for this cycle), and at least 9 months if a full year is not available.
  • Submission via the online portal, with a valid and paid CCAS membership required to enter.

Entries require a valid and paid CCAS membership. Payment is received before templates are released, and entry fees are strictly non-refundable.
