Creative standards are maintained through our awards so in the interests of inclusiveness we allow anyone working in the industry to join our organisation.

Creatives can become full members while people working in a non-creative capacity within the industry can become associate members. In this way, benefits are open to all.

To join, all you have to do is fill in the membership form (or, while the awards entry system is open each year, enter your details online) and pay the annual €170 fee.  If it is more suitable membership can also be paid monthly (€15 x 12). Payment method details are outlined on the form.

Membership is individual (not company) although there are multiple membership discounts available:
More than 5 memberships - 5% discount
More than 10 memberships - 10% discount
More than 20 memberships - 15% discount

Once you decide to join up, we encourage membership input at all times so if you have any suggestions as to how we could further serve our mission statement to foster, promote and reward creative excellence in Irish Advertising and Design please let us know.

There is strength in numbers and the more people we represent the stronger our organisation is so if you haven’t joined up, fill in the form and get it to ICAD, 103 Francis Street, Dublin 8.
