APPLIED ARTS 2012 ADVERTISING AWARDS

CALL FOR ENTRY EXTENDED DEADLINE: APRIL 27, 2012

You do great work, but how do you get that buzz going? How do you get your name recognized across the country and abroad by potential clients, senior creatives and your peers? One of the biggest bangs for your promotional buck is to become a winner in the Applied Arts Advertising Awards – the largest and most-respected show of its kind in the country.

NEW FOR 2012: THE AACE AWARDS!

We're pleased to introduce the Applied Arts Creative Excellence Awards, which will add a special twist to all our Awards programs. The AACE Awards will highlight the very best of the best in each discipline. All entries will be judged as usual by our panels of experienced professionals, with the winners beautifully reproduced in the various Applied Arts Awards Annuals. But at the same time, the judges will vote on the overall winner of each program. Their scores will be discreetly tabulated and kept under wraps until the gala AACE Awards Ceremony, held November 1, 2012, as part of the annual Applied Arts Awards Exhibition, in Toronto. The winners will be announced for the first time in an evening of high suspense and celebration. Not only will our AACEs get the envy and admiration of their peers, they will receive a uniquely designed award and extended coverage in an all-AACE issue of Applied Arts, published March 2013.
