Formed in 1952, ADC (officially known as Tokyo Art Directors Club) is comprised of 85 of Japan’s leading art directors.
 
The Art Direction Japan Exhibition is an annual public exhibition where all members of the ADC serve as judges. The ADC Awards selected at this exhibition attract domestic and international attention as awards that reflect cutting-edge trends in advertising and graphic design in Japan.
 
This year the award-winning works and those included in the yearbook were selected after rigorous screening by ADC members from about 6,000 entries that were presented, used, or published from June 2025 to May 2026.
 
 In this exhibition, award-winning and excellent works of ADCmembers and non-members will be presented before the publication of ART DIRECTION JAPAN (formerly “ADC Yearbook”).
