The ADCE Awards is unique in that only creative work that has been awarded at a local European show is eligible, ensuring an elite selection in which every single entry that a judge sees has already been nominated as a standout piece of creative.

Submissions should be made online before September 26th 2019. More information on rules, fees and eligibility can be found at awards.adceurope.org.

 

Celebrating Europe’s creativity

The ADCE Awards return as part of the ADCE European Creativity Festival (8-9 November) at the Design Hub Barcelona. On its sixth edition, the festival will bring together creative professionals from around the continent for two days of inspirational talks, hands-on workshops, and plenty of networking opportunities.

This year’s theme will be “Celebrating the people who are already building a better tomorrow” and will focus on those who employ their creativity for good and believe tomorrow’s problems will not exist if we start today. Tickets are already on sale, with discounts for ADCE Members and students.
