On August 13, 1920, the advertising and design worlds were changed forever with the incorporation of the Art Directors Club of New York, also known as the ADC. Founded by Louis Carl Pedlar with the lofty goal of raising the standards of commercial art to those traditionally associated with fine art, ADC has set the tone for creative excellence that the industry continues to follow a century later.
For over 100 years, the ADC Annual Awards has recognized the best creative talent and groundbreaking work across many different creative disciplines. To enter and win an ADC Cube is to join a legacy shared by the industry's most celebrated talents and agencies—proof that creativity, when done right, has the power to define brands, inspire audiences, and shape the future of the creative industry.
