Deadline: April 25, 2019
Entries are invited for the Ad Age’s Young Creatives Cover Competition 2019. For Ad Age’s Tenth Anniversary Young Creatives Competition and in the spirit of Project #ShowUs, they want you to create a cover that speaks to the power of truthful representation in Creativity and advertising.
Create an Ad Age cover image that communicates the power of truthful representation in advertising, creativity or the broader cultural world. For example, in the vein of Dove’s ongoing dedication to “Real Beauty,” it might inspire others to think about the destructive effect of beauty stereotypes and/or alternatively, how more inclusive ideas can benefit society. Or, thinking more broadly, it might communicate the impact of transparency and authenticity today in a world cluttered with so many messages.
For the contest’s tenth anniversary, they want to inspire positive momentum in the industry and have partnered with Dove, Getty Images and Girlgaze to bring purpose and power to the competition.
