"ADCN is the club and platform for creativity in advertising and design in the Netherlands. ADCN is a non-profit, member-run organisation, with over 600 members, led by an elected Board. Among ADCN’s members are copy masters, visionary strategists, animation magicians, advertising gurus, phenomenal illustrators, ingenious freelancers, gifted students and more. It’s the club’s members that define and shape ADCN. The club brings these members together to inspire and celebrate the finest in design and advertising. ADCN’s mission is to unleash Dutch creativity by stimulating creative excellence, accelerating creative talent and leadership and kick-starting meaningful co-creation and innovation in communications in the Netherlands.

Since 1967, ADCN – the club for creativity in advertising and design – has recognized and celebrated the very best creative ideas and craft in communications with the Lamps. Each year, the Lamps capture the creative zeitgeist and reward the passion, talent and hard work of the creative community. Celebrating unique creativity skills and groundbreaking ideas, The Lamp symbolizes the magic of creativity – the unique skill of the human mind to start with a blank piece of paper and to imagine solutions, surprise people, change the culture, grow businesses, solve challenges, and create real value and impact."

 The 51st ADCN Awards Show in National Opera & Ballet has been spectacular. This year there were nearly 1000 entrees and the juries awarded 1 Grand Prix, 3 Gold, 18 Silver and 39 Bronze Lamps. We are proud and glad to tell that many of our alumni and students have received a distinction from ADCN.
