ADC EU Awards

ADC*E is an association of European Creative Clubs. Its aim is to foster and reward creative excellence in European design and advertising, which is why every year we host the ADC*E Awards -Best of European Design and Advertising.

ADC*E is the only Awards scheme in the world to bring all the European award winning work from the national schemes into one competition. 

Up until 2004, the Best of European Design and Advertising Awards were only open to the Gold and Silver winners from each member's national premier Awards scheme. They were closed to non-ADC*E member advertising and design clubs and associations, despite the endless requests we received from around Europe.
