Fully Funded Ad Age’s Young Creatives Cover Competition in France 2019 are open for the entries.

Think you have what it takes to inspire a world of marketers? In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Ad Age’s Young Creatives Cover Competition, we’re partnering with Dove, Getty Images and Girlgaze to invite young creatives from all over the world to design an image that shows the impact of a more inclusive idea of beauty.

Create an Ad Age cover image that communicates the power of truthful representation in advertising, creativity or the broader cultural world. For example, in the vein of Dove’s ongoing dedication to “Real Beauty,” it might inspire others to think about the destructive effect of beauty stereotypes and/or alternatively, how more inclusive ideas can benefit society. Or, thinking more broadly, it might communicate the impact of transparency and authenticity today in a world cluttered with so many messages.

For the contest’s tenth anniversary, they want to inspire positive momentum in the industry and have partnered with Dove, Getty Images and Girlgaze to bring purpose and power to the competition.
