Kağan Küçük, Founder and President of Judo, and Cihan Kavaklıpınar, President of CİAN Agency, have been invited to join the jury of ADCE Awards 2026, organized by Art Directors Club Europe (ADCE).
As part of the jury panel bringing together some of Europe’s leading creative professionals, Cihan Kavaklıpınar will serve on the Print & Outdoor Jury, while Kağan Küçük will contribute to the evaluation process as a member of the Film & Audio Jury.
One of Europe’s Most Prestigious Creative Awards
Celebrating its 35th edition this year, the ADCE Awards recognize Europe’s most outstanding creative work across advertising, design, digital experiences, communication, craft, and creative technology.
Organized by Art Directors Club Europe, the competition is regarded as much more than an awards programme. It is one of the leading platforms shaping creative excellence across Europe by bringing together creative leaders, strategists, designers, and creative directors from across the continent to evaluate the year’s most exceptional work.
The first stages of judging will take place online, while the final jury sessions will be held in person during ADCE Creative Week in Barcelona this November. The winners will be announced at the ADCE Awards Gala on 20 November 2026.
Showcasing Türkiye’s Creative Excellence on the European Stage
The appointment of Kağan Küçük and Cihan Kavaklıpınar to the ADCE Awards jury represents an important milestone for the international visibility and reputation of Türkiye’s creative industry.
Having led award-winning projects at both national and international levels for many years, their participation in the jury reflects the confidence and recognition that Türkiye’s expertise in advertising, design, and creative communication continues to earn across the European creative community.
As the official representative of Art Directors Club Europe in Türkiye, ADC*Türkiye (ADC*T) remains committed to strengthening the global presence of Turkish creative professionals and fostering closer connections with Europe’s leading creative networks.
We congratulate Kağan Küçük and Cihan Kavaklıpınar on this prestigious appointment and wish them every success throughout the ADCE Awards 2026 judging process.
