The Art Directors Club holds two major competitions annually: the ADC Competition and the ADC Young Generation Competition. In 32 categories the ADC attempts to cover the entire spectrum of creative communication.
Entries: the ADC Competition is open to all commissioned creative works that were published within a year.
The ADC Young Generation Competition is open to graduates of professional creative advertising courses (e.g. graphic design) in the category »Thesis« and juniors (e.g. junior copywriter) in the category »Work in practice«.
Prizes and distinctions: the prize is the Golden ADC Pin in precious metal or a distinction. All selected works are documented in the ADC Yearbook. Moreover the awarded radio commercials are available on CD and the TV/cinema commercials can be seen on VHS. The works of Young Generation Competition are also documented in a book.
