Description:
The 17th ICMA Content Marketing Award is an international competition recognising innovation, creativity and excellence in corporate media, editorial design and graphic communication. The competition covers creative communication developed for print, digital, motion and campaign-based formats. It invites entries including customer and employee media, annual reports, image brochures, catalogues, corporate books, websites, cross-media projects, multimedia storytelling, podcasts, corporate films, animation, event media and employer-branding campaigns. Dedicated categories address measurable impact, corporate sustainability communication and practical applications of artificial intelligence. Entries are assessed by an international expert jury of publishing and design experts based on design and production quality, originality and innovation. ICMA is not a mass competition but a highly respected special prize for corporate media, books, logos and editorial design — a "must-enter" competition for designers, agencies and companies in these fields.
