A changing creative industry is<br />
more than ever in need of a<br />
benchmark.<br />
But the awards circuit has become<br />
bloated and nebulous.<br />
Yet, one distinction remains relevant...
A distinction like no other<br />
The global creative prize judged by the press<br />
Over 200 leading journalists and senior editors<br />
from the major trade press titles in over 60 countries.<br />
Plus expert writers from mainstream publications.<br />
Every year they reward the most creative and innovative work<br />
in film, digital, PR, print, craft and design.
A distinction like no other<br />
The global creative prize judged by the press<br />
Impartiality<br />
Unlike a jury of creatives, journalists are immune to agency politics.<br />
With no conflict of interest, they are truly independent experts.<br />
Therefore an <strong>Epica</strong> Award is objective evidence of creative<br />
excellence.<br />

In closing<br />
Where ideas make headlines<br />
Ever since they were launched in 1987, the <strong>Epica</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> have had one purpose: to allow<br />
journalists who write about the art of communications to honour the year’s best work.<br />
The Editors’ and Publishers’ International Creative <strong>Awards</strong>.<br />
The awards have evolved to reflect the industry. Alongside advertising and PR, they<br />
embraced design, then digital. We were the first competition to create a specific<br />
category for Virtual Reality. On the other hand, we introduced categories that place an<br />
emphasis on writing and print.<br />
Two years ago, we encouraged journalists who are experts in their field – such as<br />
production, automotive or fashion – to join our jury and vote on their vertical categories.<br />
We journalists know that creative agencies want to get our attention. We know it from the<br />
press releases we receive and the events we’re invited to. With its jury of journalists,<br />
<strong>Epica</strong> offers a direct route to the eyes and ears of the press. Every entry is scrutinised.<br />
That’s instant ROI.<br />
The Gold and Grand Prix winners literally make headlines. In fact, <strong>Epica</strong> often sets trends<br />
by rewarding work that reaps other prizes in the months ahead. But shortlisted entries<br />
that grab the imagination of individual jury members can also find themselves in the<br />
news.<br />

The PR opportunity is extended by our glossy annual book, sent out to the press as well<br />
as entrants. We also send monthly bulletins to our network of journalists about work we<br />
think may interest them.<br />
<strong>Epica</strong> is the place where creativity and journalism meet. At journalism school, we’re often<br />
told that every good story is pyramid-shaped. At <strong>Epica</strong>, our pyramid is shaped by great<br />
ideas.
