The Australian Creative Excellence Showcase, run by cinema network Val Morgan in conjunction with AdNews, celebrates Australian creativity.
There are no entry fees or written entry required. The ACES are judged based purely on the creativity on screen.
The ads must have appeared in Australian Cinemas, on TV or online between December 2016 – April 2018.
They can be entered by the agency that made them, the client, production agency, media agency or nominated by someone else in the industry.
Val Morgan CEO Dan Hill says: “The ACES is designed to be a fun awards program and event. There is only one category ‘Best Australian Ad of the Year’ and the entries are showcased in the cinema on a big screen.
“Australia is recognised for having great creative talent and this award celebrates the best of it.”
Past ACES winners have included
- Meat & Live Stock Australia, Never Lamb Alone, 2017
- Western Sydney University, Deng Adult, 2016
- Meat & Live Stock Australia, Richie’s BBQ 2015
- Aldi, Like Brands But Cheaper, 2014
- Metro Trains Melbourne, Dumb Ways To Die, 2013
The winner will take home the prestigious ACE of Excellence, along with a trip to an international creative content and marketing festival, including flights and accommodation.
The ACES will be held on Thursday 7 June 2018, where the winner will be announced.
Entry is free. Entries and nominations must be submitted by 4pm on Friday 27 April 2018.
