The Agency Contest

The Agency Contest began by publishing source books for advertising and marketing professionals.

The best work you’ve never seen.

Through The Agency Contest, thousands of votes are cast by members of the marketing and advertising industries in the U.S.

Our judges get to review some of the best creative work they have never seen.

Why haven't they seen it? Because there is a lot of great work which never gets entered in national contests, either because of timing constraints, or exhorbitant prep and entry costs.

The Agency Contest offers free entry for member agencies in our creative community, and we create all entry documents – each agency only needs to approve their proof.

1-to-1 Connection

The Agency Contest communicates with all participants 1-to-1, not through media campaigns.

This keeps expenses low, and provides our judges and competitors with personal attention.

Our goal:

Get your best work seen.

Our judges are like you – agency and marketing professionals who are immersed in advertising every day, and instinctively know what is new, innovative, creative and strong.


Importantly, our judges include clients, marketing managers and CMOs.

These judges know the creative which works for their customers, and they are looking for the next creative source to propel their brand to greater heights.

They just need to find that connection.

Agencies, Clients, Photographers, Illustrators, Creatives. Everyone wins.

Creatives and clients discover new sources for solutions, and get exposed to previously unseen creative. Photographers and illustrators get exposure for their work. Judges compete for their best judging record. A perfect symbiotic relationship.

That's the way creative awards should be.

About

The Agency Contest began by publishing source books for advertising and marketing professionals.

Since 2015 the The Agency Contest has grown into the #1 national creative contest which displays the work with the case study and contact information of agencies and professional creatives to over 23,000 members.

Our judges decide which work rises to the top by voting online in every contest.

Independent judges have the opportunity to present their profiles to fellow judges from 77 U.S. cities.

For advertising agencies, The Agency Contest profiles their companies and promotes their best creative work.
