The nominees of the very first Ocean Digital Creative Competition Amsterdam have been announced!
Amsterdam, 3 June 2021 – And the nominees are… After long deliberation, the jury has selected the nominees for the very first Ocean Digital Creative Competition Amsterdam. It was up to the jury to choose the most unique and creative ideas in Digital Out-of-Home from the 74 entries. The nominees have a chance to win €500,000, €250,000 and €100,000 in gross media value in two categories.
On 27 May, the eleven judges gathered at Ocean Outdoor’s Amsterdam office to judge the 74 entries in the Commercial (55 entries) and Non-Profit (19 entries) categories. After an afternoon of pondering, capped off with heated debates
Inge Ligthart, CEO Dawn – “It’s good to see all these creators used the possibilities of the digital outdoors so smartly. Sometimes for awareness, sometimes for good and even better; sometimes the message became a service in itself. That’s true creativity”.
Joris Kuijpers, Founder/Creatief Directeur, The Family Amsterdam – “For a change, let’s look at the best idea and application rather than the best purpose.”
In times like this, when we can’t go out shopping together, we’ve opted for a special collaboration with Capitola and Uberkraft to give substance to the announcement of the nominations and the award show on 17 June.

Cees Dingler, MD/Creative Director Capitola – “Augmented Reality used to be activated with an app, which was quite a hurdle. As of this year, we’re making it possible to activate the technology via your web browser. This way, brands can finally reach the masses and use AR as a campaign tool. At the beginning of this year, we placed Lillian Marijnissen SP with the voter in his living room. The click rate of this turned out to be very high. What we created in a short time together with Ocean is a basic application, but much more is possible, of course, such as interaction with your virtual environment, gaming and links to market places.”
