Following extensive consultation with the industry, Spikes Asia is welcoming entries from Australia and New Zealand once again in 2010.

Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, The Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam.

Thus, work can be entered by agencies outside Asia if it adheres to the above criteria. Likewise, work that has run outside Asia may be entered as long as it has been created by Asian agencies.
