Art Directors Club Two-night Awards Festival

The Art Directors Club today announced program changes and special new incentives for participants in the ADC 89th Annual Awards.

Two-day ADC 89th Annual Awards Festival
In a departure from presenting awards at a single gala event at the ADC Gallery, the club has expanded the program to be a two-night 89th Annual Awards Festival, taking place April 28-29, 2010 at the all-new SVA Visual Arts Theater in the Chelsea section of New York. The state-of-the-art theater was designed by world-renowned designer and ADC Hall of Fame member Milton Glaser, and features what may be the city's largest kinetic sculpture on top of the theater's marquee.



ADC Gallery Exhibitions for Top Cumulative Winners
Each year, ADC bestows Design Firm of the Year, Advertising Agency of the Year, Network of the Year, Interactive Agency of the Year and School of the Year, based upon cumulative points for winning work that year.  For the first time with the 89th Annual Awards, those top winners will be able to share their work with the ADC membership and the broader ad community with free access to the spacious ADC Gallery. Winning agencies can use the gallery walls and video monitors to stage a thought-provoking exhibition of past and/or present work of their choosing, and invite clients, recruits or other VIPs to attend a private event on one night. The multi-day exhibition will be open on subsequent days to all ADC members, as well as the general public.

Early Bird Discount
For the first time, ADC is offering a 10% off early bird discount on the entire order for work entered and checked out before January 4, 2010. Those taking advantage of this special offer should notify ADC by e-mail at payments at adcawards.org upon completion of the entry, reimbursements will be issued 3-5 weeks after the awards' final deadline. To enter, please visit www.adcawards.org
