ADC*UA Awards: The Gateway to Europe’s Professional Creative League
February 11, 2026
There are competitions for the sake of awards. And there are those that change professional status. ADC*UA Awards is about the latter. It is a national competition where ideas and craft are judged by European standards, and strong works get the chance to go beyond the local market.
A competition where the idea and craft matter most
ADC*UA Awards is created for the professional community and speaks its language. The focus here is not on the size of budgets or the loudness of campaigns, but on the power of the idea, quality of execution, and attention to detail. That is why the competition program covers the key creative disciplines — from Film to Campaign — and fully corresponds to the structure of the ADCE Awards.
Judging by European ADCE standards
The evaluation formats and winner selection criteria are built in accordance with the ADCE Awards regulations. This means transparent rules, a clear selection system, and a demanding approach to every entry. The jury includes members of the Ukrainian ADC*UA Club, representatives of European ADC Clubs, and advertisers who evaluate not trends, but professional excellence.
A direct path to European recognition
ADC*UA Awards is not a finish line, but a starting point. Winners and finalists earn the right to present their work at the ADCE Awards — a unique European award that brings together the best cases from 24 professional clubs and associations across 23 European countries. Winning at the ADCE Awards opens yet another level of visibility — automatic inclusion in The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings.
Part of Ukrainian Creative Stories
ADC*UA Awards is part of the Ukrainian Creative Awards program, held within the Ukrainian Creative Stories event, and is also a component of the National Ranking of Creativity and Craft of Ukraine 2026. This means participation works not only for an award, but for long-term professional reputation.
Time to give your work more than just a portfolio
ADC*UA Awards is an opportunity to speak through ideas, demonstrate your level of craft, and gain recognition that matters both in Ukraine and beyond.
If you have a piece of work where the idea withstands any criticism and the craft is executed without compromise — now is the time to give it a chance.
Early Birds Deadline — March 1. Submissions are open at creative-stories.com.ua
