NEW YORK — The One Club for Creativity has unveiled an esteemed panel of nearly 270 top creatives from 48 nations to adjudicate the ADC 104th Annual Awards, renowned for being the oldest ongoing international contest honoring superior craftsmanship and innovation in advertising and design sectors.
The jury selection is notable for its diversity, comprising industry leaders from various specialties such as interactive media, film craft, product and environmental design. Among these are Joao Flores from Singapore, Morihiko Hasebe from Tokyo, and Bruno di Lucca Goncalves from London, underscoring the global representation and broad array of expertise these awards attract.
The lineup for the 2025 Awards also reflects significant geographic diversity, with creative professionals hailing from cities like São Paulo, Nairobi, New York, and Dubai. Each brings a unique perspective to the evaluation process, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of entries that span multiple disciplines.
This year’s competition introduces several new categories and distinctions. Notably, Pharma/Health/Wellness has been distinguished as a standalone judging category, reflecting the growing importance and specialized nature of health-related advertisements. Similarly, distinctions have been made between Book Design and Magazine/Newspaper Design to accommodate the varied nuances within publication design.
Moreover, the traditional Product Design and Packaging Design categories now benefit from individual juries, which allows for more focused and expert assessment in these fields. Another update in the category labels reflects evolving industry terminologies: the Typography discipline has been renamed to Typography/Lettering.
Submissions for the ADC 104th Annual Awards are currently being accepted, with deadlines set for January 31, February 14, and February 28 of 2025. Each deadline comes with escalating fees, encouraging earlier entries.
Judging of the submitted works is scheduled for March 2025. The finalists, who will receive awards ranging from Gold and Silver to Bronze Cubes or Merits, are set to be announced in early April. The culmination of this prestigious event will see the winners honored during The One Club’s Creative Week in May 2025 in New York.
The ADC Annual Awards provide a pivotal platform for creative professionals worldwide to showcase their work, set new benchmarks for excellence, and further the conversation on innovation in design and advertising. Stay tuned as The One Club prepares to both inspire and be inspired by the vibrant future of creative excellence.
