NHS Blood & Transplant’s “Waiting to Live” From VML UK Wins ADCE Grand Prix
“Waiting to Live” by VML UK for NHS Blood & Transplant was awarded this year’s Art Directors Club of Europe (ADCE) Grand Prix at a gala ceremony, part of the ADCE ‘24 European Creativity Festival in Barcelona.
“Waiting to Live” seeks to raise awareness and inspire families to join the NHS Organ Donor Register. With 233 children currently on the waiting list for an organ transplant, the need is critical—yet in 2021/22, only 40 donors were available. To give every child on the waiting list a greater chance at receiving a life-saving donation, the campaign urgently shines a spotlight on this pressing issue, calling for immediate action.
Winners were selected by a jury of 58 leading creative minds from 22 European countries, who convened last month in Barcelona to deliberate and assess the finest creative works spanning across Europe.
A total of 924 creative works from 24 European countries were entered in the 33rd edition of the ADCE Awards. There were 375 awarded works: 1 Grand Prix, 39 Gold, 62 Silver, 94 Bronze, 175 Shortlisted, 1 European Star-Johannes Newrkla Award, 1 Genius Loci Award, 1 Equal Star Award, 1 Green Star Award.
