MADC Creative Showcase Returns for 2025 with 'Persistence Pays' Theme

Melbourne Advertising, Design & Creativity (MADC) is kicking off its 70th anniversary year by announcing the MADC Creative Showcase is back for 2025, taking place in Melbourne on May 30th with the call for entries now live.

Launching this year’s platform of Persistence Pays, the MADC is encouraging submissions from across Victoria’s creative sphere, including advertising, design and creative professionals who deserve recognition for their work across the past year.

Matt Lawson and Simon Thomas, MADC co-presidents say, “We’re incredibly proud of the MADC for sticking with it for 70 years. So, this year we want to celebrate persistence. The ideas that wouldn’t quit until they were great. The creative people that wouldn’t accept no, or roadblocks, and had to find a way, every step of the way, to make great ideas possible. Those that prove persistence pays. And to the people who haven’t won at MADC before? Stick with it, this could be your year.”

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

Plus, after settling most of the lawsuits arising from last year’s event, 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 creativity through live entertainment, art and design.
