INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Dutch Creativity Awards 2020. In this guide you will find all the
information that you require for entering the Awards, including categories, key dates,
entry fees and submission formats.

Since 1966, ADCN’s Dutch Creativity Awards – the iconic Lamps – celebrate the very
best creative ideas and craftsmanship in commercial communications with the
Advertising, Design and Craft Awards. Since 2018, the Next Awards present the very
best ‘next-generation’ creativity: the people, ideas and innovations that have a
positive impact on business, culture and society and the talent and projects shaping
the future of the Dutch creative industries.

The Lamps celebrate the power of human imagination in a world screaming for
creativity. From legendary designers like Dick Bruna and Irma Boom to contemporary
innovators like MediaMonks and Momkai, they have all won the Lamp in honor of
their creative excellence. ADCN’s goal is to unite all types of creative work in one
educational and festival platform, to foster learning and connections both within
and between all creative disciplines. Join us in curating and rewarding the best
Dutch creativity that is ‘human made’.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2020?

- Small changes to various Advertising and Design categories, reflecting the latest
  industry developments.

- The launch of the Young Directors Award in Craft, rewarding the best talent in
  film craft.

- The Future Jury, next to the Professional and Members Jury. The Future Jury will
  be composed of the best talent from leading creative schools.

- The Nominations Expo – a three-day exhibition of all the nominated work at
  Westergas in Amsterdam – free for all entrants.

- The Awards Show will be held during the new Dutch Creativity Week at Westergas
  in Amsterdam.

- More PR and publications for nominated and winning work – through ADCN and
  partner media channels – visible to the creative industry, clients and the public.

ENTRY RULES
BEFORE YOU ENTER
If your work is eligible, you should consider the following entry rules prior to entering
the Dutch Creativity Awards online.

SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES
Work must be:
— Submitted as it was originally released – only make alterations to the work if this is
  to meet the material requirements detailed in the entry guide.
— Submitted in its original language – for non-English work (including Dutch work),
  please provide a translation.
— Submitted without the names of people or companies involved in the creation
  of the work anywhere (visibly) in the work itself, or in file names. If these names
  appear in any deliverables, we will ask you to change this. This is to ensure that
  work is judged anonymously and fairly.

COLLABORATIONS
If the entrant has collaborated on a piece of work with any other entity or person, it
is the entrant’s responsibility to ensure that the entry is only submitted by one of the
collaborating parties who will be the designated entrant and will be responsible for
administering all aspects of the entry. Two different entrants cannot enter the same
work in the same category. In case of duplicate entries, we will only accept the entry
that was paid first.

CLIENTS
Clients can enter work created or crafted for them either internally or by an external
agency (as long as it has not been entered by the external agency in the same
category).

CATEGORIES
The full list of categories is included in this Entry Guide. You may enter the same
project into a maximum of 6 categories (across Advertising, Design, Craft and Next,
as a single or multiple execution), between different entrant companies. Please
ensure that your entry (especially supporting information) fits the selected category
(definition) and its judging criteria.

ADCN reserves the right to move entries to more appropriate categories if deemed
in ADCN’s sole discretion as necessary. Such action may be taken without informing
the Entrant. However, it is not the responsibility of ADCN to amend entries or move
them to different categories if they have been entered incorrectly. Entrants will not
be allowed to move entries between categories during judging.

SINGLE & MULTIPLE
Our submission formats fall into two areas: Single & Multiple. Single means a single
execution in a category only (e.g. one billboard in outdoor advertising or one poster in
graphic design. Multiple is a campaign or range with multiple executions in the same
project (e.g. packaging design portfolio, series of different photographs within the
same campaign).

ENTRY SPECIFICATIONS
Please take a moment to look through all of our entry formats and their specifications.
The specifications for file uploads may vary per category. We will not accept any other
entry formats than listed and will be in touch if incorrect formats have been submitted.
Each entry requires you to upload a still image of the work and for each entry you will
be able to submit additional images, videos, audio files, URLs and/or physical work.
Additionally you need to provide supporting information and credits. Choose your
provided media and information carefully and submit as much as needed for the
judges to understand your work but not more.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
It is very important that the entrant provides the right information as the judges will refer
to these during the judging process and ADCN can call upon this information at any
point.

CREDITS
Entrants are responsible for making sure that the credits that are submitted by the
deadline are correct and accurately reflect the roles of the individuals and companies
responsible for that awarded entry, including the credits of freelance creative
professionals.

In the entry system, you should first list the main credits including the project title and
creative, craft and client companies. Second, you list all other relevant credits (for
each individual discipline and stakeholder in the project).

The information on the entry form will be regarded as the final copy for all online and
offline presentations and publications. ADCN reserves the right to make corrections
and to decide which information is presented and published.

Once the entrant has confirmed the credits, they cannot, other than in exceptional
circumstances and at ADCN’s absolute discretion, be changed.

It is essential that ADCN is informed if the main submission contact person changes. It is
the entrant’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of all information supplied especially
for updated contact details.

ALTERATIONS
Such permitted alterations may include resizing print advertising and dubbing non-
English film entries with translated voice-overs. Alterations to colors, artwork or copy
are not permitted in any circumstance.

LANGUAGE & TRANSLATIONS
All work that has been issued to the public in a language other than English is
eligible for entry, but a translation must be supplied in the form of subtitles, dubbing,
narration, translation of radio script or printed translation following category
requirements. Translations provided in a format other than those listed are not
permitted and may result in entries being disqualified.
Exception. For the category Craft – Writing translations are not applicable as all
entries must be originally released in Dutch or English.

BREACHING THE RULES OF ENTRY
In the event that a jury queries the eligibility of an entry, we will ask you to provide
further documentary evidence to demonstrate the work is eligible. If ADCN
establishes that an entrant has broken the awards rules, the offending entry will
be immediately suspended from the awards and referred to the ADCN Board. The
ADCN Board has the right to disqualify an entrant or entry from the awards.
