Who should be entering?

The hidden creatives of Ireland.

We are looking for people who have a big idea they have always wanted to bring to reality. This is a creative competition for non professional creatives. The kind of person for whom creativity is in no short supply but you don’t actually make a living from it. You might be a student, an accountant, unemployed, a retiree or a taxi driver. Either way, you can be a contender.

What are we advertising?

Ireland: Where Creative is Native. (Visit C=N website for more information)

What should you be trying to say with your idea?

We want this advertisement to promote the idea that Ireland is the ultimate source of inspiration for creativity. That Ireland is a global centre of excellence for creativity.

How do I communicate my idea?

The simpler the better. Words, pictures, doodles or even an audio or video file. Don’t worry too much about how it looks. If chosen, then your winning concept may be developed further by the Irish Times Content Studio along with one of Ireland’s leading creative directors who will help transform the winning idea into a polished ad ready for the world to delight over.
