  • Graphic design and illustration
  • Digital design

Entry Instructions

Eligibility:

Submissions are accepted ONLY for work produced by an independent agency and presented to the public in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 calendar years.

 

This also means that you may enter NEW work that launches in the eligibility window. Have something dropping on March 1st? Go for it. We'd love to see it!

 

A written English translation must accompany any non-English language submission. Entries without translation to English will not be eligible for judging.

 

We define an independent agency as one that does not have any investment from a publicly-traded company in the advertising/marketing/consulting field. An agency owned by a publicly-traded company not in the advertising/marketing/consulting field is considered independent.
