HOW TO ENTER
In 2010, Ocean Outdoor UK organized the first Digital Creative Competition to encourage and accelerate new opportunities in screen advertising.
Thirteen editions later, the technology has transformed outdoor advertising from static to subtle motion, full motion, interactive, streaming, augmented reality and 3D simulations. Ocean continuously invests in new innovative opportunities and products liked ARDOOH, AI Photo Booth and DeepScreen ALIVE® to enable brands to have better contact with their target groups. With the right support technology and insights, the possibilities for brands, agencies and the general public are endless.
STEP 1. UNLOCK YOUR CREATIVITY
Develop your concept based on the above summary. Keep it relevant to the brand, purpose and medium.
In addition to your pictures, we also want a short explanation of your idea in a maximum of 500 words. In this we want to read how you see your idea live, on which screens, how it fits with the brand, who you want to reach with it, etc.
STEP 2. VISUALISE YOUR IDEA
To keep the participation process as simple as possible, we ask you to make a number (max. 5) visualizations of your concept. We have a good dose of templates and other assets for you that you can use for visualization. The clearer the better, but remember that we do not need “final artwork” yet.
To make it even easier, you can also draw your idea on paper or sticky notes. Take pictures of it and send it in.
STEP 3. SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY
Submit your idea using our Entry form.
When we have received your work in good order, you will receive a confirmation via e-mail and you will participate in the competition.
Make sure you have read the terms and conditions. By submitting your work, you accept the terms.
PRIZE
Entries will be judged by a jury of 9 senior advertising, PR and Out Of Home experts.
1 st Prize is a sum of 1 000 000 SEK that is fully usable on any of the digital screens within Ocean Outdoor Sweden’s network packages, including DeepScreen™ *
*The cost of the DeepScreen™ license will be deducted from the total value.

BE INSPIRED BY DOOH
The evolution of the medium facilitates use of both full motion imagery and integrated technology, to deliver emotionally engaging campaigns.
It has also taken a fundamental leap forward in its fame, its power and its potential for brands. From being an effective OOH communication platform providing huge success for brands, it is now a platform that delivers this as well as extensive amplification across social media, meaning the point of influence for brand messaging is not just people in front of the screen, but extends to global eyeballs.
VISUALIZE YOUR IDEA
If you struggle to visualize your idea, no problem.
We have both a Campaign Preview Tool where an idea can be tested and various templates where ideas can come to life. As stated, it is also possible to make a sketch on paper.
Do you need some inspiration to explore DOOH’s possibilities? Plan a brainstorm with one of our account managers or someone from our content team. In the end, Ocean helps visualize the ideas the jury has chosen as a challenger.
