New York : The Art Directors Club , the premier organization for creatives in integrated media and the first global creative collective of its kind, today announced the complete international jury of leading creatives and designers for the Interactive category of the ADC 89th Annual Awards program for 2010.
The ADC 89th Annual Awards program is open globally to both members and non-members. Deadline for entry in the Interactive category is January 29, 2010.
Staggered deadlines for other categories include Design – January 22, 2010; Student – January 29, 2010; Advertising – February 5, 2010; ADC Hybrid and ADC Design Sphere – February 26, 2010.
In a departure from presenting awards at a gala event at the ADC Gallery, the club has expanded the program to be a two-night ADC 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.
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 ADC 89th Annual Awards, those top winners will also get to exhibit their work to the ad community with free access to the spacious ADC Gallery in New York. Winning agencies can use the gallery walls and video monitors to stage an exhibition of past and/or present work of their choosing.
