About the Chip Shop Awards

The Chip Shop Awards is about fostering and recognising creativity with no boundaries and no rules. It's an international creative awards, open to anyone with great ideas.

The Chip Shop Awards is there to recognise that the best ideas don't always fall within the rules. This is a worldwide advertising and design competition that has no rules. (Click here to read why the competition is called Chip Shop Awards).

Some prize picks...





My favourite part of it all...

In the 1980s, two young creatives based in Manchester, England, were desperate to establish their reputation as serious advertising creatives. Of course the best way to do this is to win creative awards. For that you need to have some clients and unfortunately for these two creatives, they didn't have any clients.

They thought about how they could overcome this difficult problem and came up with the idea of doing brilliant creative work for a client for free and then using the work to win themselves some awards.

The client they chose was a fast food shop selling the great British dish of deep fried fish and chipped potatoes in the north of Wales. Barnacles Fish & Chip Shop was just an ordinary local takeaway but before long it had an advertising campaign that would be the envy of many business owners.
