ADC 106th Annual Awards

ADC has never been interested
in more of the same.

For over a century, we’ve searched for the work that makes us look twice. The scorching.
The feral. The piercing. The stuff that breaks rules, shifts culture and drags creativity somewhere new.

We celebrate the pioneers, the misfits and
the minds that refuse to sit still.

A relentless search for the unusual,
the outstanding, and the impossible to ignore.
