The winners of the APA Collection 2018 reflect the theme of this year’s Show; #ColourOutOfDarkness. Despite all the challenges our industry has faced this year, work is still being created to be proud of.

Once again, the winners showcased don’t just show excellence in one particular category, but an overall impressiveness deemed by the judges, makes it one of the best pieces of commercial work created this year.

Congratulations to all the winners of the APA Show 2018.
