The ADC 104th Annual Awards

The ADC Annual Awards, part of The One Club for Creativity, is the oldest continuously running industry award show in the world.

Now heading into its incredible 104th year, these awards celebrate the very best in advertising, digital media, graphic and publication design, packaging and product design, motion, gaming, experiential and architecture, photography, illustration and apparel design all with a focus on artistry and craftsmanship.

Outstanding entrants are selected by highly respected juries, and honored with coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze Cubes, presented at the Annual Awards Gala. Beyond these Cubes, however, ADC Annual Awards winners join a rich legacy of past honorees that include some of the most influential artists of the past century.

Among the changes for the ADC 104th Annual Awards are:

  • Pharma/Health/Wellness has been added as a new discipline.
  • Publication Design has been divided into two disciplines: Book Design and Magazine/Newspaper Design.
  • Product Design and Packaging Design now have their own dedicated juries (both disciplines were previously judged by the same jury).
  • The Typography discipline is now called Typography/Lettering.

The ADC Annual Awards also offers a tiered pricing structure designed to make it easier for smaller agencies, studios and freelancers to participate. Larger companies pay the standard entry fee; smaller shops get a discount on entries (amount varies by discipline) and freelance creatives and one-person shops are eligible for an even greater reduction in their entry fee.

Established nearly a century ago by the legendary Art Directors Club, the ADC Annual Awards are part of The One Club for Creativity, the world’s foremost non-profit organization celebrating creative excellence.

Founded in 1920, the ADC Annual Awards is the world’s longest continuously running awards program to recognize global excellence in craft and innovation in all forms of advertising and design.
