The name of the festival says it all. AdPrint is the only European festival dedicated solely to print advertising celebration. It is the most demanding and the most difficult exercise because it needs a great idea. The Idea. It has to convince at first sight. It encompasses two competitions: Advertising Angels and Design Angels. Entries in both Advertising and Design Angels leverage one powerful medium: print. It is a voyage through great print advertising and design.

This creative Award aims to recognise excellence in social marketing as part of EACA's overall commitment to promote Corporate Social Responsibility. The main aim of this annual ceremony is to highlight the advertising industry's specific contribution to society by selecting and celebrating the most successfully creative social marketing campaigns.

The Awards cover subjects such as public health, environment, sustainable consumption, public safety, disability, human rights, domestic violence, child abuse, homelessness, education and other similar topical public issues.

The entries will be included in the ACT Responsible Online Gallery and eligible for selection in the ACT Responsible World Tour Exhibition. Advertising Community Together (ACT) is a non-profit initiative promoting responsible communication on sustainability, equitable development and social responsibility.

Healthcare advertising, which embraces the promotion of brands to both healthcare professionals and consumers, is increasingly high profile.

The objective of the IPA Best of Health Awards is to showcase the best creativity in the healthcare advertising sector. These Awards, which have been running for seventeen years, are now recognised as the top creative advertising awards by healthcare advertising agencies, as they are the only awards given entirely by peers in the industry.

Introduced in 1996 to reward advertising that builds brands across borders, the Euro Effies were the first pan-European advertising awards to be judged on the basis of effectiveness. The EFFIE award, introduced in 1968 by the New York American Marketing Association and now celebrated in almost 40 countries, is the symbol of proven advertising effectiveness and a tribute to the client & agency partnership. In addition to the Euro Effies, there are regional programmes in Asia Pacific, and the Middle East North Africa.

The goal of marketing communications is to help marketers achieve their marketing objectives. The philosophy behind the EACA Euro Effies is that marketing communications should be recognised for their ability to achieve those objectives, beyond any reasonable doubt, and for their important role in marketing. The EFFIE programme supports and promotes the role of advertising as an effective and efficient use of marketing resources.
