We want to make paradigms a thing of the past. We want to see tomorrow’s designs today.
LONDON INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE COMPETITION
Since starting out in 2006, the London International Creative Competition has been recognising and rewarding the world’s most fresh and progressive creative talents. Our artists and designers are connected not by conventions, but by qualities. They work across a diverse range of formats, genres and industries, creating stunning and essential works of art in their respective fields. We’re not looking for anything done by-the-book. We’re looking for work that is as visual as it is vital.

Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions from every corner of the globe, with previous finalists hailing from from Iran to India, from Ecuador to Ireland, and from Italy to the U.S. We don’t care where you’re from; we just care about where you’re going. We want to make this THE year the World learns your name!
We want to hear from both experienced designers and new, exciting artists. We want to be the platform that honours great creativity in all its forms, introducing unique, extraordinary, talents to an international audience.
The submission process is quick and easy. Please take a few seconds to read through our requirements and some submission tips below. You can also find more information and answers to commonly asked questions on our FAQ page.
You can include up to 10 images with each project/entry.
For best results, make sure your images are a jpg/png at least 1000px wide on longest side, and no larger than 4MB.
The first image you upload will the the “display” image for your project, so make sure it’s your strongest image.
If your work is online (video, web, etc), you can include the URL link to your work. Please ensure that only the submitted entry is on that link.
Video files should be on Youtube or Vimeo.
Please make sure that video or other linked files are not password protected.
Some designs (ie: Architecture, Interior, Product) may have more detailed design plans. You can upload one PDF document containing further details and plans if you wish, in addition to the 10 images.
Since we have an international jury panel, the project description, credits and other information should be written in English.
The entry description is one of the most essential parts of your submission, so make it engaging and interesting; keep it succinct, but still give as much information as possible; share the original project idea, the design trigger, how it contributes to society or local communities, etc.
Make sure to credit all of the designers that took part in the project. You can also add photographer and model credits as appropriate.
Careful selection of submission category is important. Many entries would fit in multiple sub-categories, and entering in more than one increases the chances of winning significantly.

Make it happen
For us, art is oxygen. Without it, our planet simply wouldn’t be the same incredible place it is. Imagine a city without architecture. What would it look like?
Without creativity, the world would just be an empty frame.
Without creatives, the world would be monochrome.
Being a creative is about defining your own set of rules, then breaking them.
It’s about recognizing the most difficult path, then taking it.
It’s about walking right off the edge of the map.
