ADCI Awards 2026: svelate le 15 giurie che decreteranno l’eccellenza creativa italiana

La competizione entra nel vivo. ADCI – Art Directors Club Italiano svela oggi la composizione completa delle giurie che valuteranno i lavori iscritti agli ADCI Awards 2026, il principale riconoscimento italiano dedicato alla creatività e all’efficacia delle idee, dei linguaggi e dei progetti di comunicazione.

Oltre 150 professionisti, 15 categorie

A comporre le giurie saranno oltre 150 professionisti provenienti da tutto il panorama della comunicazione: creativi, art director, copywriter, designer, strategist, registi, producer e rappresentanti dell’intero ecosistema creativo. Il loro compito è selezionare i progetti in gara — dalle campagne alle idee, fino alle esecuzioni che meglio hanno saputo interpretare l’evoluzione dei linguaggi creativi nell’ultimo anno.

La composizione delle giurie è uno dei passaggi più importanti del percorso degli Awards. La scelta dei professionisti coinvolti nasce dalla volontà di garantire un confronto autorevole, indipendente e multidisciplinare, capace di mettere a dialogo competenze diverse e restituire la complessità del mondo creativo contemporaneo. Esperienza, visione, specializzazioni verticali e contaminazione tra discipline hanno guidato la selezione dei giurati, chiamati a confrontarsi sui lavori più rilevanti dell’anno.

Il loro lavoro non si limita a valutare i progetti in gara: si fonda su una lettura della creatività contemporanea costruita sulla cultura, sull’esperienza e sulla profondità del pensiero. Ogni confronto diventa l’occasione per interrogarsi sul valore delle idee, sulla loro capacità di incidere nell’immaginario collettivo e sul ruolo che la comunicazione continua a svolgere nell’evoluzione della società.

Le 15 giurie e i loro Presidenti

Ogni giuria riunisce, oltre al Presidente, una decina di professionisti selezionati per competenza specifica nella categoria — dalla craft del film alla strategia, dalla comunicazione pubblica all’inclusività dei linguaggi.

A seguire, la composizione completa delle giurie, con i rispettivi Presidenti:
