AdCrawl 2026
1 day. 4 leading studios. 1 real-world brief. 10 spots.
AdCrawl is AADC's annual industry education day, built to give emerging creatives exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to agency thinking and life.
On Wednesday 30 September 2026, ten selected students will step out of the classroom and spend the day visiting our 2026 Client Partner, Sofitel Adelaide, before heading inside four of Adelaide’s top creative studios to see how real-world briefs are tackled from every angle.
The 2026 Lineup
Client Partner: Sofitel Adelaide
Host Studios: Studio Band, Human Intel, Malicious Delicious and Born
The creative challenge
To secure one of the 10 spots, we don't need a CV or academic transcript – we want to see your creative mind at work.
The brief:
"It has been decided that Adelaide needs another statue. What would the statue be, and where would you put it?"
Accepted formats: A short written rationale, a video pitch, a graphic design piece, a 3D mock-up or a multimedia concept.
Eligibility: Open to all current tertiary/vocational design, advertising and creative students in South Australia, as well as recent graduates (within 12 months). You must also be an AADC member (which is free for students).
