MADC Creative Showcase Celebrates 70 Years With 'Persistence Pays' Theme

The quest for glory at this year’s 70th-anniversary Melbourne Advertising, Design, and Creativity (MADC) Creative Showcase is heating up, with entrants encouraged to submit their work ahead of the early bird submission deadline this coming Monday, April 14th.

The MADC is encouraging submissions from across all of Victoria’s creative sphere, including advertising, design and creative professionals who deserve recognition for their work across the past year. The special 70th anniversary theme of Persistence Pays aims to champion what it takes to create great ideas.

MADC co-presidents Matt Lawson and Simon Thomas said, “To celebrate our 70th, early bird entries are at 1955 prices. To be honest, we’re losing money at these prices, so this will probably be the last year of MADC. So enter now for what will be an iconic and historic victory! Enter now, and enter heaps! Persistence pays.”

​Entries are now open across all categories, with a special early bird price available until April 14th.

The MADC are also pleased to offer early bird tickets for what will be a sell-out night of celebrating great work and showcasing Melbourne's creativity through live entertainment, art and design.
