COMPETITIONS

ADWAVE had started in 1997 with only ‘Malaysia Best Advertisement’ exhibition (Classic Advertisements from New Straits Times) as well as Kancil Award Winning Advertisements Exhibition.

Creative Advertisements Competition was organized since 1998 until now.

With great support from our sponsors, the Social Campaign Competition was carried out in ADWAVE 2002.  While in ADWAVE 2003, Point-of-Sales Design Competition (In-Store Communication Competition) was held.

Since 2002, participations in ADWAVE include those from ASEAN countries, including students from Thailand and Singapore. Students from Bangkok University, Thailand became winners for creative print advertisements competition in ADWAVE 2002 and ADWAVE 2003.
