Dentsu’s Global Chief Creative Officer, Yasu Sasaki, is to take the lead role of Jury Chair of the 2024 Cresta Awards.

“I am very proud to be acting as jury president and to play a role in setting the creative bar for the industry,” said Sasaki.

Emphasizing the importance of creative awards, he added: “Industry awards are more than just accolades; they’re catalysts for creativity. By celebrating ground-breaking campaigns and daring ideas, they inspire us to elevate standards and innovate. These awards foster healthy competition, drive continuous improvement, and provide valuable learning opportunities.”

For over three decades, The Cresta Awards has been a beacon of global creative excellence. What sets it apart? Remote judging over nearly a month, ensuring impartiality and avoiding 'group-think'.

This year, Cresta aims for even more diversity in entries, from established agencies to burgeoning startups, individual creatives, and yes, innovative AI prompters!

Entries are open until 20th July.

LESS THAN THREE DAYS TO GO - our Super Early Bird extension is closing very soon. Maximise your entries on minimal budget. cresta-awards.com

Last chance to Finalise or Pre-Order a 40% saving.

Due to very high demand in the last few days, we have extended Super Early Bird to enable more of you to benefit from our special 2023 discounts.

To qualify for the discount, all 'pending' entries currently in our system must also be finalised by this revised deadline.

Many of you also told us that your weren't quite ready to enter. That's why we introduced our unique Pre-Order option. It means you can keep saving 40% right through to final closing in July.

As Lewis Blackwell, CEO of Cresta, said, “We know that sometimes the presentation material, the full credit info, or even the precise choice of entry or category, is not all confirmed at the time of the first deadline.

As a result, we developed a Pre-Order option that allows you to book entries now at a terrific price and then complete later when you are ready.”

How Pre-order works

Step 1: Register or Login as usual
Step 2: Go to Create an Entry
Step 3: Choose Pre-order an Entry in the categories (it's the first on the list)
Step 4: Choose Single or Campaign entry
Step 5: Insert a title for your entry (Entry No 1, for example)
Step 6: Press submit, and then repeat for as many entries as you want.
Step 7: When your entries are ready, just email us and we will help you finalise everything.

You have now locked-in your Super Early Bird discount, and when you have the materials and details ready we'll unlock your order so that you can select the right category, enter credits, upload media as you please.

30/03/2023

It's time to impress your CFO and lock-in some great savings for your awards budget. You have until tomorrow to save $200 or more per entry with our Super Early Bird discount.

If you still aren't sure which work to enter, don't worry. Just select a Pre-Order entry and you can decide which work to upload - even which category to enter - right up until final closing day later this summer.

Please note : To qualify for the Early Bird discount all entries (inc. Pre-Order entries) must be paid by midnight GMT 31 March 2023.

SAVE NOW. ENTER LATER.

Our Super Early Bird discount period closes later this month. But your chance to enjoy its low fees doesn't have to.

With a Pre-Order Entry you can lock-in our lowest fees without deciding right now which work or categories to enter.

In fact you can leave those decisions until just before we close later this summer.

It's a unique Cresta feature that could save you over $200 per entry.

Why the creative standards awards matter.

When push comes to shove, and a deadline looms, we all know we can knock something out.

Something that will do the job, get approved, work in budget and fit the brief.

It’ll do, we’ll be tempted to say.

And some of us will say just that, and go home having done a decent day’s work.

Others won’t, however. They’ll stay on and work through the night or weekend if necessary. Until they have something special, unexpected, challenging.

Something that knocks it out of the park. And that says, we have standards.

It may need a little more persuasion to get the client onboard, a little more budget to produce or some rethinking of the original strategy.

But this is the work you’ll find on our winners’ page, like the 2022 Grand Prix winner The Wish from Serviceplan (above). And this is the work that demonstrates the importance of having creative standards.

We believe it matters enormously to reward and promote work from the people and the creative companies that have this commitment to, and belief in, the value of creativity.

Don’t you?

PLAYSTATION. LITERALLY
The category is for work that defies categorisation and simply makes us say " , how did they do that" or "how did they persuade the client to go with that". Shock us, or make us laugh out loud, or go silent in admiration.

RUSSIA MUST PAY A PRICE

We urge all in our industry to isolate, block and
repudiate Russia.

With immediate effect our own awards and
publications will accept no entries, editorial,
advertising or other contribution from any entity
based in Russia or controlled by Russian interests.

Any income we receive this year from agencies,
photographers, advertisers or corporates with
close Russian connections will be donated to the
Red Cross.

These restrictions apply equally to Belarus.

We have no desire to punish hard-working and
talented creatives in Russia, but until their
government ceases its criminal invasion of Ukraine
and its distribution of baseless propaganda, we
have no alternative.

The industry we work in is a small but vital part of
the global community and the economy – we can
and must all play our part in standing against this
unprovoked Russian aggression.
