Considerations
This is the catch-all category for the weird, the wonderful, and the work that’s never seen the light of day.
This could include but is not limited to:
Unreleased Projects
Creative work that was created but never fully realised, shared, or launched.
Experimental Ideas
Concepts that push boundaries, challenge norms, or explore uncharted creative territory.
Art for Art’s Sake
Projects that were made purely for the sake of creative expression — without any commercial or functional goal.
Outlandish Campaigns
Bold, unexpected, or eccentric campaigns that didn’t fit into traditional categories but deserve to be recognised for their creativity.
Futuristic Concepts
Ideas or prototypes that explore what’s next — from speculative design to visionary technology.
Abandoned Work
Creative projects that were started but left unfinished or unexplored — whether due to time, resources, or other reasons.
One-Off Experiments
Creative projects that were purely experimental, testing new techniques, mediums, or ideas without aiming for perfection.
Wild Collaborations
Unexpected collaborations between creatives or industries that produced unconventional or unorthodox work.
In-House Projects
Internal work that may not have been shared with the world but deserves recognition for its creativity, innovation, or vision.
Reinvented Ideas
Creative work that takes existing concepts, formats, or structures and turns them on their head in bold new ways.
All types of creative work are welcome in this category.
