Applied Arts 2023 Advertising Awards Winners Revealed

2022 Applied Arts Advertising Awards winning entry "White Ribbon Uncomposed" by Bensimon Byrne/Narrative /OneMethod, Advertising–Craft Music category.

The 2023 Applied Arts Advertising Awards competition has come to a close and what a great competition it was! Like judge Marie-Ève Best, ECD LG2, commented: "I think that the highest compliment you can pay another creative is to say that you were jealous of their idea. I can confirm that I had that feeling several times while judging these entries (but I won’t say which ones)."

The overall impression from this year's submission is that our creative industry is pushing boundaries - reaching for new ways to convey the message, like judge Ari Elkouby, CCO Wunderman, notes: "The work that stood out to me showed up in an unexpected fashion. New strategies, solutions and technologies that punched through." 

The end result leaves us inspired, we believe the same will go for you, too. The 2023 Advertising Awards winners will be published in the Winter issue, which will be released in December. The issue will be choked full of inspiration with the 2023 Student Awards winners. For non-subscribers, the Annual will be available at select newsstands, pre-order your own copy of the Annual or subscribe for regular inspiration at your fingertips before October 31.

Thanks to our award sponsors, VISTEK; our association partners CAPIC, Design Professionals of Canada (DesCan) and RGD; and our print and paper partner Mi5 Print & Digital Communications, for their continued support.
