New for 2010
In a departure from presenting awards at a single gala event at the ADC Gallery, the club has expanded the program to be a two-night ADC 89th Annual Awards Festival, taking place April 28-29, 2010 at the all-new SVA Visual Arts Theater in the Chelsea section of New York.
Each year, ADC bestows Design Firm of the Year, Advertising Agency of the Year, Network of the Year, Interactive Agency of the Year and School of the Year, based upon cumulative points for winning work that year. For the first time with the ADC 89th Annual Awards, those top winners will also get to exhibit their work to the ad community with free access to the spacious ADC Gallery in New York. Winning agencies can use the gallery walls and video monitors to stage an exhibition of past and/or present work of their choosing, and invite clients, recruits or other VIPs to attend a private event on one night. The multi-day exhibition will then be open on subsequent days to the general public. Further details to be determined, availability based on ADC calendar of events.
This year’s program also marks the inaugural ADC-Nissan Student Brief Competition. Playing off the Art Directors Club prestigious Cube award, students will be asked to respond to a brief for the new Nissan cube©. A $3,500 award from Nissan will go to the grand prize winner, with $2,500 from ADC going to two runner ups. ADC Gold, Silver and Bronze Cubes will also be awarded by a five-person jury made up of executives and creatives from Nissan North America and TBWA\Chiat\Day, the car company’s ad agency. Deadline for entry is January 29, 2010. For more information and to enter, please visit www.adcglobal.org/education/competition.
