The 2023 edition of the Elephant Prodigy Award has been canceled.
What is it?
In 2019, within the Bea World Festival, ADC Group has introduced the Elephant Prodige Award, a great platform for young talents from the international events industry. The competition aims at recognising the talent and creativity of the next generation of event professionals on a global stage, as well as showcasing their skills to the whole live communications industry.
A corporation, non-profit organisation or media (i.e. “the client”) will share a briefing containing all the necessary information, including objectives and budget, to develop a live communication project. Participants, divided into random couples, will have 8 hours to shape a project that demonstrates their creative process, showing how the creative idea would be produced and it would connect with the organisation’s brand values, how it would engage with the target audience, its effectiveness in building relations with relevant stakeholders, and how it would be supported by a communication plan. Projects will be judged by the client and the winning team will be crowned live during the Best Event Award ceremony.
Who is it for?
Creative talents from agencies and corporate companies, freelancers, or students aged 25 or under.
A maximum of 20 people will be admitted to the competition on a first-come-first-served basis.
Participants will be grouped into teams of two, drawn by the Festival organisers one week before the competition.
