Five leading creatives in India have been named by The One Club for Creativity to serve on the diverse global jury for the ADC 104th Annual Awards, the world’s longest continuously-running global competition celebrating excellence in craft and innovation in all forms of advertising and design.

The complete list of nearly 270 judges from 48 countries who will serve on the ADC 104th Annual Awards jury can be viewed here.
Entries can be submitted now, with fees increasing after each deadline period. Regular deadline is January 31, 2025, with extended deadline of February 14, 2025, and final deadline February 28, 2025.
New for 2025
Among the changes for the ADC 104th Annual Awards are:
Pharma/Health/Wellness has been added as a new discipline.
Publication Design has been divided into two disciplines: Book Design and Magazine/Newspaper Design.
Product Design and Packaging Design now have their own dedicated juries (both disciplines were previously judged by the same jury).
The Typography discipline is now called Typography/Lettering.
Judging for the ADC 104th Annual Awards takes place in March 2025. Finalists — all entries winning either Gold, Silver, Bronze Cubes or Merit — will be announced early April, with winners unveiled at the ADC 104th Annual Awards ceremony during The One Club’s Creative Week 2025 in New York in May.
Tiered pricing
A special tiered pricing structure makes it easier for smaller agencies, studios and freelancers to participate. Larger agencies and brands pay the standard entry fee; smaller shops get a discount on entries (amount varies by discipline), and freelance creatives and one-person shops are eligible for an even greater reduction in their entry fee.
This year’s “Seen By the Best Eyes” branding for the ADC 104th Annual Awards call for entries was created by MullenLowe Design Studio, the recently launched group within MullenLowe US.
