ADJUDICATION

Not all entries will be chosen for Spring Show.

Large-scale, multi-component projects and integrated campaigns will be favored.

Creators of projects selected for inclusion in the Spring Show will be notified by the email included in the submission form. So it is important you submit with an email you check regularly.

FAQ

How many projects can I submit?

You may submit up to 3 separate projects. If you need to resubmit a project, please email advertising@academyart.edu with the subject line “ADV Spring Show Resubmit”

Can a group project be submitted?

Yes! There is a place in the form to include those additional student names.

Would a group project count as one of my three projects that I can submit?

If the student who submits that project wants to also submit three other projects, please notify the department at advertising@academyart.edu to get a project cap exception.

My instructor says he/she submitted my work for Spring Show. Do I need to do anything?

Yes. Students must fill out the submission form for each project submitted. Any work recommended to ADV in any other form will not be considered.

Can I submit work from a non-ADV class?

Students can submit projects created in a major class or competition from April 6, 2020 through April 12, 2021.

Who picks the work to be included in Spring Show?

Once the submission deadline passes, work will be collected and blindly adjudicated by the ADV Directors and Faculty.

Submission Form

ADV Submission Form

Ad Age’s annual Young Creatives Cover Competition is open for submissions, and this year’s theme looks to the future. For 2021, Ad Age is asking entrants aged under 30 to imagine what Ad Age’s cover will look like 10 years from now. What will be captivating advertisers and marketers’ attention in a decade, what will the agency of the future look like, what will be the biggest trend in marketing and what will be advertising’s most difficult challenge in 2031?

Entry is free and winners will see their design appear on Ad Age’s June 14 cover, in the print edition that publishes the week of Cannes Lions. They will also win a virtual pass to this year’s festival. More details here.

Submissions are open now and deadline is April 15 @ 5pm EDT
