The global Art Directors Club and Dreamina AI announced the ADC Cube and cash prize winners in the inaugural ADC AI Visual Design-Dreamina AI category, dedicated to honoring the frontier of generative craft in this year’s prestigious ADC 105th Annual Awards. 

The new category, which was free to enter and made possible by ADC’s exclusive partnership with Dreamina AI, part of ByteDance, recognizes evolving creative craft and honors modern creators who are using AI as a creative partner to expand the boundaries of visual expression.

Hongye Liu (Yea野了), Shanghai, was awarded a Merit for “《HONG KONG LOADING…》”.

“Rather than limiting ourselves strictly to the original storyboard, we drew continuous inspiration from Dreamina AI during the creation process,” explained Gold Cube winner Xinxin Li.  “The mutual inspiration between human creativity and AI capability allowed us to revise and optimize the script accordingly, and eventually we completed a finished piece with a distinctive aesthetic style and sophisticated editing rhythm. It truly lets us feel the unique charm of the integration of technology and artistic creation.”

Jury member Wesley ter Haar, co-founder, Monks, Amsterdam, said of the Gold Cube winning entry: “it’s a standout piece when it comes to storytelling and using the tools and technology to create something very visually compelling.  It confirmed for me how much the value of craft is still very much at the core of doing great AI work.”

Entry brief: “Imperfection”

Creativity can lose its spark when every element is perfectly polished and optimized. Therein lies the opportunity to celebrate the messiness, contradictions, and lived experience that provide fuel for better AI tools and more creative ideas.

For the new ADC AI Visual Design-Dreamina AI category, entrants were asked to create work that honors imperfection and uses AI to complement, not erase, those qualities. Entries could take a variety of forms, including video, motion graphics, animation, or poster. 

As the Presenting AI Partner of the ADC 105th Annual Awards, Dreamina AI served as the primary engine for this challenge, inviting users to prove that even in a digital age, the human spark remains the most essential component.
