The clock is ticking on your chance to enter the ADC 94th Annual Awards Advertising category. The deadline has been extended until Monday, February 9, but that will be here before you know it!

Entering the ADC Annual Awards is one thing, but winning a a Cube is another. This week we will be showcasing ads that won Gold Cubes at the 93rd Annual Awards last year, in hopes that these recent winners will inspire you to join them in the history books.

With “Rice-Code”, Hakuhodu Inc. helped turn the famous rice paddy art of a struggling Japanese village into an economic windfall for its citizens… and a Gold Cube for the agency.
