Digital Creative Competition

All you need is an idea

For the chance to bring your idea to life on the most socially amplified communication channel, look no further than our Digital Creative Competition.

Unlike traditional award shows that celebrate work already created, Digital Creative Competition is about the birth of new ideas. It is an idea-based competition designed to inspire and celebrate new, creative concepts.

Anyone with a client or brand can participate by submitting innovative ideas for Digital Out of Home screens. The winners will have their ideas brought to life in collaboration with Ocean’s in-house creative and innovation team, Ocean Labs.

Enter an idea that can turn a physical screen into a digital phenomenon. So turn on your creative mind, unlock your creativity, because all you need is an idea.

Step 1

Create your concept

Unlock your creativity and develop an idea for your brand that best uses the Digital Out of Home medium.

Describe your idea: Bare in mind that we want to read how you see your idea live, on which screen or network, how it fits with the brand, who you want to reach with it, etc.

Step 2

Visualise your idea

To keep the participation process as simple as possible, we ask you to make visualizations of your concept. The clearer the better, but remember that we do not need “final artwork” yet.

To make it even easier, you can also draw your idea on paper or sticky notes. Take pictures of it and send it in. All you need is an idea!

Step 3

Submit your entry

Submit your idea using our entry form below.

When we have received your work in good order, you will receive a confirmation via e-mail and you will participate in the competition.
