The AICP Show, The Art & Technique of the Commercial, is more than just an awards show judging the best work of the year. It is a true research project with cultural and artistic significance. More than 400 advertising and production professionals judge the Show, which is organised by a panel of curators made up of prominent industry leaders.
The AICP Next Awards recognise outstanding work and the creative forces behind it, but are much more than an awards competition: Next is a platform for thought leadership and analysis. Each year, the Next Awards honour the best work in 11 categories: Branded Content & Entertainment; Creative Data; Digital Experiences; Experiential; Influencer; Innovation; Integrated Campaign; Purpose Driven; Real Time Engagement; Social; and Web Film. The Most Next – Best of Show – award is selected from the category winners. Winners are announced at the debut of the Next Awards during AICP Week. After touring various arts and cultural centres around the country, the Next Award winners become part of the archive of the Film Department of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. All entries for the Next categories must be for a client and may be produced and broadcast worldwide.
The AICP Post Awards honour the best post-production work of the year. Artists are recognised for their contributions in specific disciplines within the general categories of editing, audio mixing, sound design, colour grading, graphic design, visual effects and finishing. The former AICE awards have been redesigned to recognise the most outstanding examples of the various works. In addition, the “Best of Region” category winners are presented as the best work from companies submitting in each AICP region (East, Midwest, Southeast, Southwest and West).
- Best!N Food is Here!
The second edition of the Best!N Food Marketing Summit will be held on Tuesday 5 April at the Alimentaria Trade Fair (Hall CC5, Pavilion 5), where more than 15 professionals from the sector will talk about the most innovative strategies they have implemented in this latest stage. Subsequently, on Wednesday 6 April at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower, the Best!N Food 2022 Awards Gala will be held.
Food companies are restructuring their priorities and their investment in order to reach a consumer whose habits are constantly evolving. The importance of the digital approach continues to grow, not only to generate an alternative sales channel, but also to have a deeper understanding of consumers and their behaviour, but not everything is technology and digitisation, innovation and creativity are becoming more important nowadays, and the values associated with brands are now an asset that cannot be left out of the equation.
At the Best!nFood Marketing Summit you will be able to hear from the protagonists of food and beverage marketing, case studies, changes in the communication model with the consumer, how brands such as Bimbo, Lindt, Colacao, Nestle, Gallina Blanca, Mars, Beam Suntory, Grupo Osborne and Pernod Ricard are applying their product strategies.
The Best!N Food Awards are the Food Marketing Awards organised by BEST AWARDS, in collaboration with ALIMENTARIA, the leading food trade fair in Europe and one of the most important in the world. Best!N Food aims to highlight and reward the best work of marketing departments and their agencies, and to bring together marketing professionals from the food sector to generate networking, debate and address the challenges they face in their day-to-day work, highlighting the work of marketing professionals and their importance within the companies they work for.

- Have you not yet signed up for the Rioja Film Commission’s “Full Team” training day?
“FULL TEAM“, is a training action of La Rioja Film Commission, on the 6th, 7th and 8th of May.
Among the objectives of LaRFC is to carry out actions for the development, training and specialisation of companies and professionals related to the audiovisual sector through collaboration with universities and other training centres, not only in activities linked to the industry, but also in auxiliary services for filming, promoting cooperation between them.
In an environment as diverse and constantly evolving as that of audiovisual fiction, currently marked by a profound transformation, especially in terms of consumption and enjoyment by the viewer, it is important to value many of those responsible for the chain that makes it possible and to know the specialisation involved in each position.
In this sense, this training course organised by the Government of La Rioja through the Directorate General of Tourism, to which the film management company La Rioja Film Commission belongs, will focus on the specialisation and importance of each of the professionals involved in a film shoot: from the script, casting, direction of photography, production management, post-production…, as well as all those responsible who participate in the chain that involves the creative process of the project itself, to the final product, passing through processes such as editing.
With this new activity, the regional executive continues to support an innovative axis of the tourism strategy, that of establishing La Rioja as a land of cinema, which allows influential personalities from the audiovisual industry to meet, offer quality training, attract filming and showcase the region’s tourist, cultural and heritage attractions.
You will be able to follow the conference in person or online, get to know the full programme here.
