The objective of the comeptition: Exchange of creative ideas. There are competitions in a lot of countries on custom media, books, corporate design and magazine design, which take place in separated competitions. The ICMA aims to support the exchange of ideas at the international platform. This is why the call for entries is send to more than 9000 designers, custom media specialists, bookpublishers and magazines worldwide. Further objectives of the competition:  Disclosing trends: The results of the competition give everyone the opportunity to classify his object in international comparison, and to quickly execute optimisation measures for his own product.  Impact outwardly: Winners report intensively on the Awards they have won, on their websites and in print media. They thus underscore their standards of quality and at the same time get involved in their own advertising.  Think tank: Publication of the winners in the ICMA‘s Almanac and on www.creative-mediaaward.com promote their own creativity. What Awards are there? There are Awards in Gold, Silver and Bronze. There are, moreover, Awards of Excellence, presented for outstanding individual performance, for example, for the cover and cover story, photo reportage, illustrations, infographics or the concept of a publication as a whole. Statistics. 411 publications from 17 countries participated in the 6th ICMA The following awards were given:  39 Gold Awards (5th ICMA: 27)  45 Silver Awards (5th ICMA: 25)  31 Bronze Awards (5th ICMA: 22)  as well as Awards of Excellence

Why should I take part in this competition? In the magazine “Page” there was the following quote from a designer about this: “We have been in agreement for some years that there is no cheaper advertising than expensive participation in design competitions. How much more would we have to spend without this simple method in order to attract attention! And what’s nicer than the accolade of colleagues?” Take a look at the websites of well-known designers or large advertising agencies: Almost always you will find a category for competitions, in which they have successfully competed. The ICMA really is a world-wide competition. Winners can advertise with it and show they also work successfully against international competitors.
