The start of National Creative Contests
November 07, 2022
The All-Ukrainian Advertising Coalition (VRK) announces the start of the National Creative Contests and calls for entries with the first brief that is called "Every Ukrainian contributes to the victory".
National Creative Contests are national advertising contests that are open to all Ukrainian participants in the advertising and communication market, both experienced and young creators. The National Creative Contests are held within the framework of Ukrainian Creative Stories 2023 and are organized outside the contest program of the Kyiv International Advertising Festival 2023.
The contests are designed to reveal the most interesting and brightest ideas, to celebrate the most creative projects and introduce publicly the best examples of modern creativity in various directions.
There are three contests, each of which will have a given topic related to the war in Ukraine or other socially important issues for Ukraine. The topics will be presented in three separate briefs prepared for one of the VRK partners (international technical assistance programs, foundations, donors, and/or government institutions).
Participation in the contests is absolutely free of charge, everyone has the opportunity to demonstrate their talents and creativity according to the given briefs.
The Members of the jury will be members of the Art Direction Club of Ukraine ADC*UA, who are leading Ukrainian creative directors, art directors and designers. Each contest will have its own jury team. After judging the works, the jury will determine the winners (the first, second and third places) and shortlists.
All winners of the National Creative Contest will have the right of free of charge participation in the contest program of the Kyiv International Advertising Festival 2023, and they will also be awarded with points at the National Ranking of Creativity and Craft 2023, which will be compiled based on the results of the KIAF 2023.

Contest topic in the Brief 1: "Every Ukrainian contributes to the victory."
The main task is to emphasize the importance of the volunteer movement, workers of communal services, medical workers, and any ordinary citizens who in any way contribute to economic growth.
