Finalists announced for The Forty Seventh Annual AADC Awards

The AADC Awards recognise, celebrate and promote the best of the state's advertising and design capabilities on an annual basis, and raise the value of creativity here in South Australia.

After a record-breaking year of entries, over sixty industry heavyweights have generously donated their time and energy to the task of viewing hundreds of entries across Advertising, Design, Craft, For Good and Student categories.

Now, the results are in. Find out what work was deemed worthy of a Finalist, and will go on to compete for Awards at Thursday night's sold-out ceremony.
