These creative professionals will lead judging for each discipline, and have a vote on the work. The full ADC 105th jury will be announced in January.

Entries may be submitted now, with fees increasing after each deadline period. Regular deadline is January 23, 2026, with extended deadline of February 6, 2026, and final deadline February 20, 2026.  

This year’s awards include the presentation of the Paul Manship Medal, now reimagined as an enterable category recognizing a single designer who best acts as a catalyst for change, demonstrates foresight and innovation, embodies a lasting legacy, and made the most significant contribution in the past 12 months to two years.

Other noteworthy changes for 2026 include the separation of Health & Wellness and Pharma into two distinct disciplines, and addition of four new categories for Film & Moving Image, Motion & Graphic Design, Experiential & Interactive, and Digital & Emerging Media within the Artificial Intelligence discipline.

A special tiered pricing structure makes it easier for smaller agencies, studios and freelancers to participate.  Larger agencies and brands pay the standard entry fee; smaller shops get a discount on entries (amount varies by discipline), while freelancers and one-person shops are eligible for an even greater reduction in their entry fee. 

This year’s global ADC 105th Annual Awards call for entries campaign was created by Dentsu Tokyo. The campaign, Create a Beautiful Future, highlights The One Club’s status as a global nonprofit organisation that, unlike for-profit awards shows, takes revenue generated from its awards shows and puts it back into the industry to fund a range of professional development, education, and diversity programs.
