Welcome to The One Show

A new entry season brings a new entry system.

The One Show is the world's most prestigious award show in advertising, design and digital marketing. For over 40 years, the Gold Pencil has been regarded as one of the top prizes in the creative industry. The One Show has had a rich legacy of honoring some of the most groundbreaking ideas, created by some of the most remarkable minds in creativity.

The One Club for Creativity is a not for profit organization that celebrates and serves the global advertising and design industries, and when the pandemic began to affect the world earlier in the year, we jumped to make adjustments to help our community.

New This Year

Fusion Pencil
With the goal of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in both agency/production company staffing and the work itself, the new Fusion Pencil will identify and celebrate great work which also demonstrates how underrepresented groups and DEI issues are utilized both “behind the scenes” and in the creative work.
