Submit your best work here.
At a time when advertising is being rewritten across mediums — films, reels, memes, AR, gaming, influencers and immersive digital—SACs honours work that doesn’t just respond to culture, but shapes it. These awards recognise both scale and soul: the bravery of an idea, the craft of execution, the depth of storytelling and the cultural footprint left behind.
A Vision for a New Creative Era
The SACs were built with a simple vision: to spotlight trailblazing creativity that redefines advertising for the modern world—across platforms, mediums and mindsets. From brand films to next-gen AI work, from iconic design to creator-led storytelling, the awards champion ideas that reflect India’s evolving identity.
A Call to the Country’s Most Daring Creative Minds
Entries are open to brands, agencies, production houses, media innovators, design studios, independent creators and platform partners. Work must have launched between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, giving the industry room to showcase a full year of creative evolution.

A Jury Built for Today’s Creative Landscape
