Yes, the world is pretty crazy right now. But that doesn’t mean we have to give up the ADDYs entirely — we’re working hard on that.
We’ve prepped a few surprises, not least of which is a ADDYs-party-in-a-box, being delivered to all professional entrants.
A lot will change in the next month (maybe starting with the graphics for this year). Let’s dive in.
First thing: they are happening. You can win gold. You can wear a formal dress and spill a drink on it (just put down towels in your living room first).
The Competition
Let’s start with the competition: Entries will be entirely digital this year. Upload any files that you think will help judges understand your work. It may help to think of submissions as portfolio pieces: show all sides of the packaging if you want, consider some pictures of the finished piece and not just flat art files, and so on. Your work will only be judged virtually this year, so consider the deadline, take your time and show your stuff.
Deadline
You can submit entries starting December 1, 2020. The last call for entries will be January 31, 2021.
