The distinction between "New Brand Establishment" and "Brand Update or Rebuilt" is based on the applicant's project plan rather than a strict set of guidelines.

New Brand Establishment: This category is intended for companies or teams launching a brand for the first time. Applicants in this category are generally focused on developing or promoting a new brand to establish a presence and recognition in the market.
Brand Update or Rebuilt: This option is designed for brands with an existing market presence, where the goal is to expand, enhance brand value, or adapt to evolving market demands.
We encourage applicants to carefully evaluate their brand’s current status and objectives, selecting the category that best aligns with their developmental needs.
