As of now, works can be sent to ADC Switzerland for the judging that will take place in January next year. The deadline for entries is November 21, 2008. This year, the Art Directors Club is placing special emphasis on avoiding fake or pre-scripted work. "Long live honesty," it writes in Wednesday's announcement. ADC Switzerland only judges submissions that appear in the form in which they were submitted. Again and again, however, attempts are made to foist other works on the jury. This is contrary to the spirit of sport. As a measure against forgeries, ADC now requires a confirmation of use and a client reference with the submission.
Once again this year, judging will take place in a total of eleven categories: Ads, Posters, Film, Radio, Direct Mail (and POS and Events), Ambient Media, Design, Photos & Illus, Digital, Low'n'no-Budget and Overall Campaign. The works will be judged by around 100 jurors from ADC's membership, although they have not yet been appointed. As in previous years, ADC expects to receive around 1000 entries from Swiss advertising agencies. All submissions can be viewed on January 26, 2009, as last year, at the WTC in Zurich-Oerlikon from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. The judging will take place on January 27 and 28, the award ceremony with gala on February 2. All about the call for entries and registration: www.adc.ch/ausschreibung.
