The Art Directors Club of Europe – ADCE – is a non-for-profit organisation created in 1990 by a group of professional design and advertising associations from across Europe.
Owned and managed by its members, ADCE stands for the value of Europe’s cultural diversity, simultaneously favouring and benefiting European national clubs. Internationally recognised as an authoritative voice, ADCE represents the best of local European advertising and design in an increasingly globalised market.
The ADCE Awards exist to inspire, educate and unite. The best of the best, it brings together nationally awarded work to set the highest benchmark of creative excellence in Europe.
Known as the “Champions League of creativity”, the ADCE Awards is the only international competition to gather award-winning works from the most prestigious national European competitions. Participation to the ADCE Awards is exclusively granted to works that have been recognised at a national level offering them international visibility and promotion, in six different categories.
