Categories
There are five major categories in which to enter work:
- Advertising
- Design
- Craft
- For Good
- Student
Within each of these major categories there are numerous sub-categories designed to enable the broadest, but most relevant disciplines of the local advertising and design industry to be represented.
Entry Kit
Download the most recent (2025) version of the Entry Kit, and keep your eyes peeled on our socials for the release of the 2026 Entry Kit later this year.
Entry Criteria
Each entrant, where relevant, may submit an overall written description of the entry of no more than 200 words, and if in your judgement a supporting video is required, its duration can be no longer than 2-minutes.
Please note, the AADC and this award event represents the interests of the commercial creative communications industry and is not a vehicle to promote the fine arts or amateur productions (except in the case of student entries).
The overall intention of the awards is to celebrate and promote excellence in creativity and in doing so, encourage the highest possible creative standards.
2026 Awards Eligibility
Work which had a first publish/airing date between 01 January 2025 and 30 June 2026 is eligible for entry.
Entrants must be the creator or craftsperson responsible for the entry.
To enter, you must be an AADC member and resident of South Australia.
