Deadline for CRAVE Awards submissions extended until April 15

The organizers of the open competition CRAVE Awards have announced a one-week extension of the submission deadline – now until April 15, 2026. Initiated by the All-Ukrainian Advertising Coalition in collaboration with Havas Village, the competition is aimed at young creatives and those just starting their careers in the industry.

CRAVE Awards is designed as an entry point into the profession for participants with little or no experience in advertising. It offers an opportunity to test skills in real-world conditions, work with real client briefs, and gain visibility in the market.

Participants are invited to develop solutions based on client briefs in three categories: Real Client Brief – creating a Christmas campaign for the “Lvivski Drizhdzhi” brand, Social Impact – a social campaign for a non-profit organization, and AI / Technological Brief – solutions using modern technologies.

The competition is open to students, young professionals with up to one year of experience, and career switchers – specialists from other fields who aim to transition into the creative industries. Participation is free of charge, and entries can be submitted individually or as a team. Only original ideas created specifically for the competition are accepted, and there is no limit on the number of submissions.

Winners in each category will receive cash prizes, and the results will be announced on May 28 during the Ukrainian Creative Awards ceremony.

The organizers encourage participants not to delay and to take advantage of the extended deadline to refine existing ideas or develop new ones. Detailed participation guidelines are available via the link.
