Create your concept
The Digital Creative Competition is the place to express your creativity. Develop a concept centred on Digital Out of Home that makes the most of the many technological possibilities available. Push the boundaries of tradition with your vision for a unique campaign.
Identify your locations
Design your own concept for one of Ocean’s cities or locations.
Pro tip
Try to think in terms of a network for your idea – consider how the concept could be rolled out across multiple locations, or even become a destination in its own right. Let your creativity shine through so that your campaign ultimately becomes shareable, ensuring it lives on – and reaches beyond our screens – alongside the very best in DOOH.
Submit your entry
Bring your concept to life for the judges by submitting relevant visual material. We accept everything,
from a sketch to a fully animated video – be creative and go into detail.
Entries close on 28 August 2026 at 12 noon. The guidelines for the submission follow Ocean’s general creative guidelines.
