A. 26 September Cresta Awards: Registration by 20 July
Cresta is the organisation for creative standards. They have been showcasing and evaluating exceptional creativity since 1993. The festival, held annually online, attracts entries from over 70 countries and from many of the most respected creative companies in the global industry. Entries cover a wide range of skills, from the latest technology-based and digital creative communications to more traditional areas in advertising and design.
Each year, a world-class jury of more than 120 senior industry leaders vote independently online to establish benchmarks for global creative standards. From these individual assessments, they establish the absolute levels of creativity needed to win one of our coveted trophies: a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Grand Prix Cresta.
This is a fully online event. They offer affordable entry fees, fair and top-notch evaluation of work, customised post-award publicity and editorial, global and regional rankings, and provide an international benchmark that attracts clients and top staff.
Here you can find all the key dates for the festival and the registration for the awards.
