The
Brief
"Reimagine the Future"
This year’s awards celebrate work that blends historical perspectives with future-forward ideas, using creativity to inspire innovative solutions for a better tomorrow.
Create a campaign concept (with a minimum of 3 visual elements, eg. OOH, video, print, social media, branding, collateral, etc.) that inspires people to rethink and reimagine what the future could look like. It could tackle themes like technology’s role in society, sustainability, or equality, and use Bridgeman Images’ archive to connect past and future ideas.
Use a curated selection from Bridgeman Images’ extensive archive of historical and cultural content to craft a campaign that connects the past with future possibilities. Whether it’s a brand promoting technological advancements, a cause pushing for social progress, or a campaign envisioning sustainable living, explore how the lessons of history can shape and inspire a new future narrative.
This can be on behalf of your own company or a fictional company or brand. No trademarks to be used without permission.
