Welcome to submissions page for The Ad Club's 2026 Hatch Awards!

There are a few changes to this year's awards and process we want to make you aware of before you begin.  This is a new platform which we hope will be easier to navigate.

1) If you or your company are MEMBERS of The Ad Club, you'll just need to login and then you will receive member pricing.

2) if you are NOT A MEMBER, please email Kate McCabe at kate@adclub.org who can send you an account activation email so you can set a password, log in, and submit your entries.

3) Pricing is now done by deadlines and increases the longer you wait to enter.

4) You must note the date the creative you submit ran in the entry form. If you do not, or its outside the window of time, you will be disqualified automatically.

5) And lastly, a reminder, only entries that exceed a minimum threshold of scoring receive an award. Even if you are the only entry in a category, you do not win an award unless your work scores high enough.

To submit an entry, click “Start Appliction” in the navigation menu below to get started. 
Submissions open on May 11th, 2026 and the last day to submit is July 2, 2026 at 11:59PM.
