Description
The Creative Communication Award is pleased to launch its third edition, inviting professional and student creatives from all around the world to submit their most innovative and compelling designs for consideration in this prestigious competition.
C2A is on a mission to promote creativity and reward designers and creative thinkers for all the hard work and skill they put into their projects. Their stories — whether told through graphics or through words, whether still or moving, digital or analogue — matter, they are important, and they deserve to be honored, shared and celebrated.
This international award program is a promotional platform for communication designers, agencies, graphic designers, freelancers, digital media designers, and for the world-wide creative community. Created by the Farmani Group in 2019 as the sister initiative of the IDA International Design Awards, the C2A was born as a result of recognizing the need for a program dedicated to discovering and awarding excellence in Communication Design, on an international level.
Hossein Farmani, C2A’s President and Founder of the Farmani Group, commented, “Each year, we see stunning talent and creativity from entrants, who pour their hearts into their work. The winners of the 2020 edition of C2A have shared some incredible projects, reminding us of the power of inspirational creative communication, even in difficult times. They use creative communication to share ideas and build communities, to educate, sell, or inform, and to always evoke an emotional response in their audience, and for that we are grateful.”
A stellar international jury will evaluate entries based not only on the highest of current design standards and trends, but also seek out truly extraordinary designers who are producing coveted, exceptional creations.
Creatives selected by our renowned jurors receive extensive public showcasing of their designs to an international audience, a certificate of achievement and winner's logo, are featured in the online gallery exhibition and in the Book of Creative Communication, among other benefits.
The Early Bird deadline is April 15, 2021. Submission entered by this date will receive a 20% discount on submission fees. The regular submission deadline is August 15, 2021.
