The ADC Annual Awards are pleased to offer a tiered fee system specifically for freelancers, individuals and small companies. We believe that impeccable craft and design comes from all corners of the industry, from the gleaming agencies working their magic on global clients; to the design boutiques developing a new logo for an up and coming brand; to the lone illustrator or photographer breathing life into a magazine editorial. It is our hope that this pricing will encourage entries from across the creative spectrum. Approval is required before Small Company tiered pricing applies to your entries. Do note approval may take up to one business day.
The ADC Annual Awards accepts and celebrates entries from around the world. All work should be submitted in its original language. English translations are required for all work in another language.
