An international competition 

Our show is open to all art directors, graphic designers, photographers, illustrators and fine artists in all countries. There are separate categories for professional and student entries. 

Defined categories, two types of winners 

Our Standard categories include Advertising, Graphic Design, Illustration Photography and Fine Art. We accept both commissioned and personal work for judging. As a new feature, we're adding a quarterly thematic category open to all entrants. In addition, we now have a portfolio category where entrants select their culmative best work for judging. 
All winners and runner-ups will be notified in 6-8 weeks.

Judging process 

All judging is done digitally so our judges don’t know the identity of our entrants. It takes a majority of the judges’ votes to be featured in the magazine. 

Winner Awards 

Your work will be immediately featured in our online Gallery and will become a part of our year-end published 2026 Creative Quarterly Annual—a book exhibiting all winners as well as listing all runners-up. You can also purchase the printed Annual at a discount. Pre-orders for the printed Annual will begin in December 2026.

As a winner or runner-up you are entitled to a complimentary award certificate pdf, and you may purchase a printed certificate in our online Shop.
