The Drum Chip Shop Awards celebrates creativity without limits, and the entrants famously often ruffle a few feathers along the way. Open to anybody with an interest in creating ads, these awards are unlike most in that they celebrate the essence of effective advertising: the great idea.

Oats not Milk!

The Drum Chip Shop Awards recognize the most creative ads – even ones that never ran

Dipesh Mistry, associate creative director at Brave, is the chair of this year’s judges. The jury was made up of creative leaders from an international list of agencies, including 72 and Sunny, Ogilvy UK, VMLY&R, UltraSuperNew Singapore, McCann New York, and The Bank of Creativity & One Minute Briefs.

The results will be announced at a virtual ceremony on Wednesday July 07 2021. Register to attend here, and join us to celebrate the winners and their work.
