THE AWARDS
ADC Cubes, ADC Hybrid and ADC Design Sphere are symbols of high creative achievement. They're not easy to come by, either -- our juries are among the most discriminating - winning a Gold or Silver cube is a true accomplishment.
There is no limit to the number of winners in any given category, nor is there a minimum number required. For Advertising, Interactive Advertising, Playground and ADC Hybrid medalists, two complimentary cubes will be presented to the primary Art Director and Copywriter. For Design, Design Interactive and ADC Design Sphere one cube will be presented to the primary Art Director or Designer. For the Photography and Illustration categories within Design, cubes will be awarded only to the Photographer or Illustrator. Additional cubes may be purchased for team members, collaborating creatives and clients.
