Prestigious Manship Medallion

The ADC 101st Annual Awards ceremony will take place in person during Creative Week 2022 on Wednesday, 18 May 18 at Gotham Hall in New York.

In addition to honouring this year’s Cube winners from around the world, the ceremony will also feature a belated celebration of ADC’s historic 100th anniversary, which was postponed last year due to the pandemic, and include important members and winners from throughout ADC history.

The event will also feature a special presentation of the prestigious Manship Medallion, the original ADC competition award created by famed sculptor Paul Manship who made the Prometheus statue in Rockefeller Center, to 10 highly accomplished members of the creative community who have had a great impact on ADC through the years.
