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.
Entries are now open.
