The O.G. marketing show turns 100 this year. It's time to join the party.

Welcome to the awards program of the century.

In 1922 winners ranged from ads touting the artistry of Cossard's “front lacing” Corsets, to a timeless pitch for an iconic product: “always take an EverReady Flashlight with you everywhere."

Ads for "Canada's Best Known Musical Instrument" promised a happier Christmas with the mellow tones of the $95 Columbia Grafonola in your home, while Hoover suggested “give her a lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness” to "transform her hours of drudgery with hours of ease and leisure."

So a few things have changed… but odds are good that someone unwrapped an appliance from their partner this holiday ; )

Think your creative will stand the test of time?

It's time to enter your Advertising, Craft, Design or Multicultural work for centennial-celebration Gold M consideration, and join the archives of Canada's best creative.

EARLY BIRD: JANUARY 17

The Marketing Awards remain synonymous with the gold standard of creativity. The lens, same as a century ago, is creative excellence in advertising and branding: a breakthrough concept, captivating creativity and flawless execution.
