"Snapchat and The One Club share a passion for celebrating craftsmanship and creativity,” said Augie Chun, Head of US West Coast Creative Strategy at Snapchat, who is on this year’s ADC Interactive jury. “I'm excited to partner with the ADC Annual Awards on the Interactive and Experiential AR/VR categories as a way to highlight world-class Augmented Reality Lenses on Snapchat."

“AR, in particular, has opened the door to an exciting whole new world of creative possibilities,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity. “But what we’ve seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg, as creatives and brands continue to explore new ways to reach and captivate their target audiences.  The market is ready to take off, and we couldn’t have a better partner than Snapchat to elevate and celebrate the great AR/VR creative work.”
