More creative excellence in print: The 2022 ADC competition, the biggest creative competition in Germany, has entered a new round. Studios, editorial offices, agencies and companies can submit their work in 12 disciplines to the Art Directors Club (ADC). BCN - The Brand Community Network is giving away free submissions for 50 projects in the Publishing/Editorial category. Creatives can contact ADC as of now with their editorial work.
Major publishing houses and independents alike launch new print formats on the market and are constantly pushing the boundaries of development in the print sector. They are a showcase for the passion and high journalistic standards that go into the work. The creative and journalistic output of these magazines or newspapers is outstanding and reveals the creative power that print still wields. BCN Brand Community Network is the leading marketer of print media in Germany and an expert in creativity and innovation in the world of print marketing. To honour achievements in print and give more visibility to the new products, BCN is giving away 50 free submissions to the 2022 ADC competition.
Our business is based on our strong media brands. So we get to see outstanding creativity in print media every day. It is clear to us how much enthusiasm goes into developing great ideas and breaking new ground. Our aim in offering 50 submissions from the publishing sector is to promote the power of innovation in the industry and give both small and large-scale projects the opportunity to take part in the ADA competition and showcase their creativity.

Creative work – from graphic design to illustration, from staging to packaging, from advertising to photography – can be submitted to the ADC. It will be honoured and presented at the upcoming ADC Festival in Hamburg from 17 to 20 May 2022. The submission deadline for the projects from 2021 is 11 January 2022 (25 January with a late fee).
