Your submissions will be judged by respected senior communications professionals, so you’ll know how your work stands up according to the highest standards in the industry.
NEW FOR 2012: THE AACE AWARDS!
We’re pleased to introduce the Applied Arts Creative Excellence Awards, which will add a special twist to all our Awards programs. The AACE Awards will highlight the very best of the best in each discipline. All entries will be judged as usual by our panels of experienced professionals, with the winners beautifully reproduced in the various Applied Arts Awards Annuals. But at the same time, the judges will vote on the overall winner of each program. Their scores will be discreetly tabulated and kept under wraps until the gala AACE Awards Ceremony, held November 1, 2012, as part of the annual Applied Arts Awards Exhibition, in Toronto. The winners will be announced for the first time in an evening of high suspense and celebration. Not only will our AACEs get the envy and admiration of their peers, they will receive a uniquely designed award and extended coverage in an all-AACE issue of Applied Arts, published March 2013.
