The judging of the Art Directors Club Germany competitions took place in mid-May parallel to the ADC Festival 2020. This year, Germany’s largest creative festival moved from Hamburg to the digital space, and renowned international protagonists, pioneers and lateral thinkers from all disciplines of creative communication took part. During the ADC No Congress on May 14th on Facebook Live their talks and presentations inspired and discussed perceptions on this year’s motto »The Power of No«. On 15 May, the winners of the ADC Nails and Grands Prix of the ADC Competition and the ADC Junior Competition were also announced digitally.
With its repeatedly successful entries in the 2020 competition, the Media Design department at Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg Ravensburg fosters its position as one of the most successful creative universities in Germany. The range of categories in which the department’s work has been awarded prizes impressively reflects its cross-media understanding of design and ranges from spatial communication or book design to VR game design, animation, motion design and even media art.
Once again, congratulations to all winners!
