It is one of the oldest and largest competitions of its kind in the world. Winners range in size from small communications firms to media conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies.

Categories are divided into Print Media, Public Relations/Communications and Electronic/Social/Interactive Media.

Judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry. Each year, competition judges evaluate the creative industry’s best publications, branding collateral, websites, videos, and advertising, marketing, and communication programs.

The Hermes Creative Award statuette is a majestic symbol of the ancient Greek messenger who, according to myth, was the Olympian god of literature, orators and poets. The sleek H with its intricately carved wings, the statuette is a contemporary, abstract piece of art recognizing the messenger’s role in creativity, design, and technology.

Hermes Creative Awards is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), one of the largest, oldest, and most respected evaluators of creative work in the marketing and communication industry.
