The ACC TOKYO CREATIVITY AWARDS is recruiting visitors for the Creative Innovation category final judging session.

ACC held the second round of judging for the Creative Innovation category of the "2019 59th ACC TOKYO CREATIVITY AWARDS," selecting nine entries to advance to the public presentation & final judging session on September 11th, along with four ACC Finalist award winners. Applications are being accepted from the general public wishing to observe the final judging session.

This award evolved from the "ACC CM FESTIVAL," an advertising award held since 1961, and was renewed in 2017 as an award recognizing creativity across all fields. The judging criteria for the Creative Innovation category is "Big Idea × Technology." It solicited entries for "Products & Services" and "Prototypes" born from the combination of ideas with the potential to create the future and move society, multiplied by technology.

The final judging session will be held on September 11 at the DMM Group Roppongi Office in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Following presentations and Q&A sessions by representatives (teams) of the nine works advancing to the final judging, awards including the "Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award/ACC Grand Prix," "ACC Gold," "ACC Silver," and "ACC Bronze" will be decided, followed by an awards ceremony.

Details on the 9 finalist entries and the 4 ACC Finalist award winners, as well as how to apply to observe the final judging session, can be found on the special website.
