The ICAD Awards represent a hugely important part of ICAD's mission statement - to foster, promote and reward creative excellence in Irish Advertising & Design.
ICAD is Ireland's preeminent creative body - and the annual awards are the greatest opportunity for Irish creatives to have their best work recognised and rewarded by their peers.
For over 50 years the ICAD Bell has remained a prestigious & coveted prize within Ireland’s creative community and is an acknowledged symbol of excellence by our international peers. This is down to the standard of work produced by our members and to the quality and integrity of our judging panels.
Each year, the ICAD Awards provides us with the opportunity to look forward with a confidence and demonstrate what the power of creativity in Ireland can achieve.
Each jury is made up of respected and awarded peers as well as an international judge.
Work is judged on it's creative merit and whilst it is very important to maintain the high standards associated with winning an ICAD award, ICAD also feels a responsibility to encourage and support the industry. To this end, it is the job of each jury to promote the high quality of Irish creative work by selecting work for exhibition that is a broad and fair representation of the creative industry.
