There's not long left for creatives to make their submissions for the Creativepool Annual 2024. Agencies and creatives from around the world have time until 23 May to submit their most innovative and impactful work to a panel of brand marketers and agency leaders for the chance to be showcased.
Now in its 11th year, the Creativepool Annual aims to highlight the best work from the creative industry in its tome, which serves as both a trophy and marketing piece. The Annual is billed as “The Most Award,” as it claims to be the creative industries' most influential, most voted, most shared, most collaborative and most carbon-positive prize.
The Creative Pool Annual also claims to be the most distributed creative award in the industry since tens of thousands of copies are distributed and downloaded by key industry players worldwide, giving entrants global visibility. It's also a creative award that offers entrants two chances to win for each submission. Alongside the traditional jury award, the Creativepool community casts their votes for the people’s choice prize.
As well as the usual free categories, the Creativepool Annual 2024 sees the introduction of four new work categories intended to reflect the changing landscape of the creative world and to acknowledge new emerging fields and innovative practices.
The new categories are:
Art: the first non-commercial category for the Annual, acknowledging the purest, unadulterated form of creative expression.
Artificial Intelligence: In recognition of the burgeoning impact of AI in the creative sector
