Creative Week

This year, we're introducing a brand-new creative event format aimed at enhancing the recognition and exposure of talent across the entire creative industry. The program will include a series of curated activities, culminating in two major gala celebrations. One night will spotlight the Student Awards Gala, while the following evening will honor the ADCE Awards Gala for professionals—ensuring all winners receive the acknowledgment they truly deserve.

Stay tuned! More details about the ADCE Creative Week will be announced soon.



New Fees System

To simplify the process and promote fairness, a flat entry fee will be implemented for all locally awarded works — regardless of whether they received Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Shortlist. This change streamlines the submission process and ensures equal opportunity for all participants.

 
The Art Directors Club of Europe (ADCE) is a non-profit organization, and the income generated from entry fees is reinvested into its educational and professional development initiatives.
