About ADC
Founded by the Art Directors Club in 1921, ADC is the longest continuously running industry award show in the world. Now heading into its incredible 105th year, these awards celebrate the very best in advertising, digital media, brand / communication design, book design, magazine / newspaper design, packaging and product design, motion, gaming, experiential design and architecture, photography, illustration and typography / lettering, all with a focus on artistry and craftsmanship.
The ADC Annual Awards 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 freelancers and one-person shops are eligible for an even greater reduction in their entry fee.
Outstanding entrants are selected by highly respected juries, and honored with coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze Cubes.. 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.
