Creative Express is ADCE’s educational programme for emerging creative talent. It brings together young creatives from across Europe to respond to a real client brief through an international team competition.
For the 2026 edition, ADCE member clubs will organise local selection programmes to choose the creative duo that will represent their country at the final competition in Barcelona.
Open to creatives aged 28 and under, each team has 24 hours to develop and present a creative response to a live brief provided by a partner brand.
Participation in the programme is exclusively reserved for the creative duos selected through the local Creative Express competitions, who will come together in Barcelona to collaborate, exchange ideas, and develop solutions to the European brief. The final presentations will be open to the public as part of the ADCE Awards Final Judging Round on 18th November.
