※The Busan International Advertising Festival (AD STARS) was established in 2008 with the support of the City of Busan and the Korean government. It stands alongside Spikes Asia and ADFEST as one of Asia's premier advertising festivals. Unlike these two festivals, however, AD STARS accepts advertising entries from around the world. One of its defining features is the absence of entry fees (except for the Integrated category), making it highly accessible to entrants. In 2017, over 21,000 entries were submitted across 18 categories: Film, Print, Outdoor, Radio, Interactive, Mobile, Promotion, Direct, PR, Integrated, Media, Innovation, Design, Film Craft, PSA (Public Service Announcement), Diverse Insight, Place, and Video Stars.
