“After expanding The One Show Greater China Program to the whole Asia Pacific region with The One Show Asia Showcase in 2020, we launched One Asia Creative Awards with the aim to elevate the work of unique Asian cultures,” said Ma Chao, Chief Representative for The One Club Asia office. “Using the world’s top judging standards, One Asia inspired the industry by showcasing the best creative works in Asia Pacific on the global stage.”
He added that much of the work entered was inspiring, delivering the optimistic spirit during the pandemic. “It’s been very challenging to create great works during the pandemic, but we believe in the power of creativity because it is a form of currency for the future, and it connects and unites us as one,” he said.
The One Club for Creativity, producer of The One Show, ADC Annual Awards, Type Directors Club Communication Design and Typeface Design awards, Young Guns and Creative Week, is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to support and celebrate the global creative community.
