Judges are instructed to recognize work that they feel:

  • Demonstrates creative thinking
  • Finds a uniquely effective way to use the medium
  • Stands out from the other work in that category
  • Is fresh and relevant
  • Could compete on a national level

The ACE Awards celebrate creative excellence.

Specific marketing results are outside the scope of the process and must not be included with submissions.

Subjectivity

The judging criteria are open to the interpretation and subjectivity of the judges chosen each year. The judges’ decisions are final.
