Upcoming AICP Show honors best in advertising

 

The AICP Awards
honors the Best
Advertising of the Year


 
 

(Detroit — 23 July 2018) The honorees of the AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the American Commercial, will be showcased on August 2, 2018 at Detroit Historical Museum.

This year’s guest speaker is Agnieszka Palarz, VP/Director & Executive Producer at Digitas.

Now in its fifth year, AICP Show—Detroit continues to grow in popularity every year as Detroit grows culturally, attracting attendees from both coasts and from all major commercial production hubs in between.

The AICP Show premiered in June at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as a tentpole event of AICP Week (along with the AICP Next Awards), and is now on tour at museums and cultural institutions around the country and abroad.

This year’s honorees — along with the entire AICP Awards archive — is available at www.aicpawards.com. Each year, the honored work from both awards presentations becomes a part of the archives of the Department of Film at The Museum of Modern Art.

The MOMA’s collection now numbers over 1,975 pieces of advertising in the motion image.

The Art & Technique of the American Commercial has a bifurcated judging system, which begins with a series of judging panels featuring over 400 judges from across the country and around the world, with experts in various fields judging work across the 22 categories.

The process culminates in the meeting of the Curatorial Committee, which is the final arbiter in the disposition of the Show, confirming eligibility and appropriateness to category. A similar system selects the winners of the AICP Next Awards.
