Awards
The ADCC keeps the Canadian creative bar high by recognizing creative excellence on an annual basis.
Our ADCC Awards are judged solely by international creatives, avoiding bias and ensuring the work we award is held to a higher global standard.
We also promote the next generation of creative talent through our Student Competition and acknowledge lifetime achievement through the Les Usherwood Award.
And every November, we bring our creative community together for the ADCC Awards show to celebrate the year’s best work.
