How to enter in 2025
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. 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.
Each year, the jury consists of a team of specialists working within various disciplines. All are esteemed colleagues representing the entire spectrum; creative, digital, innovation and media. All entries that meet the selection criteria will be submitted and the finalists will be announced after the second round of judging.

Winners 2024 Commercial category:
Qmusic
“Silent Street Stage”
By Total Design
Ocean’s digital screens transform into the Netherlands’ newest concert venues. The concert is visible on Ocean’s screen and the performance can be listened to by everyone with earphones via the QMusic app.
Etos
“Grab your package”
By NOISE Amsterdam
Ocean’s digital out-of-home screens will be transformed into grabbing machines just before the holidays! The screens will be filled with various Etos presents. Passers-by can scan a QR code and then remotely control the grabbing machine with their phone.
Mr. Jealousy
“Mr. Jealousy”
By Higuita
Adding colour to the streetscape, but just a little differently. Mr Jealousy wants to sponsor the transitions of existing ads on the screens of Ocean Outdoor. By allowing a Mr Jealousy blind to open and close before and after an ad, they add colour to the street scene.
Winners 2024 Non-profit category:
Nationale Opera & Ballet
“The city as a dancefloor”
By Higuita
The piece ‘in C’ is performed not only by the dancers, but also by the residents or visitors of Amsterdam. When a passer-by stands in front of the screen and moves, the ballerina imitates the movement with an elegant ballet step. In this way, everyone can be part of the Dutch National Opera and Ballet transform into the Netherlands’ newest concert venues.
Stichting Sina
“Together is not alone”
By Higuita
Passers-by get an insight into harrowing housing situations in Amsterdam. To combat this poverty problem, they are invited to ‘live’ to furnish a children’s room. With every donation, the room improves.
PAX
“The Donation Dove”
By Dawn
Passers-by are invited to leave a message of peace along with a donation. For each donation, a new dove appears on the screen and flies out into the world to spread peace, using Ocean’s DeepScreen technology
