How to enter
For the chance to bring your idea to life on the most socially amplified communication channel, look no further than our Digital Creative Competition. Running since the start of Ocean Outdoor, it has challenged, inspired and focused the creative industry to put Digital out of home front and centre for brands, with many winners going on to achieve global recognition.
Create your concept
Develop an idea for the Commercial brand, Non-Profit brand or Printworks SkyLights categories, that best uses the DOOH medium.
Identify your locations
Design your concept for any of our cities and locations.*
Top tip
Try to network your idea. Think about how it can roll out across multiple locations – or own a destination – and what will make your campaign ultimately shareable.
