Disciplines

The ADCE Awards recognise excellence across seven creative disciplines. Each one defines a craft, a medium, or a way of working, together they map the full breadth of European design and advertising.

Film & Audio

The moving image and the sounds that shape it. From TV and cinema commercials to online video, radio, podcast and audio branding — this discipline recognises craft in direction, cinematography, editing, music, sound design and animation.

Print & Outdoor

The enduring power of static communication. Posters, billboards, special outdoor formats, digital screens, print advertising and direct marketing — alongside the craft disciplines that make them sing: photography, illustration and art direction.

Interactive & Mobile

Creative work built for screens and connected experiences. Interactive design and campaigns, social media, digital service experiences, multi-platform work, gaming, influencer marketing, and the technological craft that pushes user experience and creative data forward.

Design

Visual systems and the objects that carry them. Graphic communication, editorial design, brand identity, logotype, packaging, motion graphics, spatial design, typography, illustration and photography — wherever design is the discipline doing the work.
