Enter a creative for free. Every approved entry goes live on the AdGrove network with 500 impressions included, then the community scores it. The best ad of the year wins 1,000,000 impressions.
The inaugural Ad Creative Competition is being finalised. Create your account now and you will be ready the moment entries open.
Upload your creative through the normal campaign wizard. There is no budget step and nothing to pay. You can enter up to 10 creatives.
Once approved, your entry receives 500 impressions and starts running on real publisher sites straight away. It also appears in the public Ad Gallery.
Viewers score entries on creativity, production quality, storytelling, engagement and strategic impact. Scores stay hidden until prize day.
Prize impressions are added directly to the winning campaigns, so the ad that won carries on running with real budget behind it.
1,677,500 impressions are being given away across 50 places.

|---|---|
| 1st | 1,000,000 |

Prize impressions are granted to the winning campaign, carry no cash value and are not transferable.
Every entry is scored by the community across five categories. Each category is worth up to 5 points, so a complete score is 25 points. Categories left untouched are not counted, which keeps partial scores honest.
Your entry runs with 500 impressions free. If you want the work in front of a far bigger audience while the judging runs, you can add impressions at standard rates at any time. Paid impressions amplify reach only: they carry no weight whatsoever in the scoring.
500 impressions are included with every approved entry.
