πͺ It’s All Swings & Roundabouts
Entries are open – and deadlines have been extended
In a year that came with more challenges than most, we choose to celebrate a truth:
This business can be a wild, wild ride.
It’s been a tough year for many in our industry. Teams have shrunk. Projects have tightened. Familiar names have disappeared from the landscape.
And yet – the work continues.Ideas keep coming. Campaigns are still getting out the door. People are still pushing for creativity, even when it’s hard. The 2025 BADC Awards aren’t about putting on a show for the sake of it.
They’re about pausing to honour what’s been made in the face of challenge. The effort. The resilience. The craft. The teams who kept going.
