ADC is committed to championing the best in creativity, and a key aspect of this is its unique focus on the craft of the work.

This ensures that the quality and skill of the work is always at the forefront of the judging.

This means that all ADC Gold Cube winning entries that submitted through the freelance level of the tiered pricing structure will be judged by a jury from the WNW community alongside the other ADC juries.
