About ADCN

ADCN

ADCN is the Dutch Club for Creativity. Founded in 1966, ADCN works on the development of a more creative Netherlands based on the vision that creativity contributes to the progression of people and society. With the programs of Club ADCN and ADCN Academy, we work on connecting and developing creative professionals and teams, with a focus on the different disciplines in the world of commercial communications. With the Dutch Creativity Awards and Dutch Creativity Festival, ADCN celebrates and presents the best creative ideas from all kinds of sectors and fields in the Netherlands. The ADCN board of ten creative leaders work together with the team, committees, partners and members on the 'creative growth' agenda and act as ambassadors of Dutch creativity.

Dutch Creativity Awards

For decades, the Lamps have been the most prestigious awards and symbols for excellence in creative communications and digital innovations. Winning a Lamp has been a rewarding and inspiring moment for generations of creative professionals across the years: a pinnacle of their careers and a reflection of the respect of their peers.

Every year we welcome creative people from all disciplines to present their ideas and craftsmanship to the Juries and the world. As of 2020, the Spins joined the Lamps in the Dutch Creativity Awards and they have been fully integrated in 2023.
