News Australia has been named platinum sponsor of the 2026 Brisbane Advertising and Design Club (BADC) Awards, with the awards night on October 24 at Fortitude Music Hall.
BADC has also extended the final entry deadline to 6pm on Monday, July 20.
This year's expanded category structure includes new categories for Social and Creator and Creative Use of Media.
Remy Brassac, BADC president and co-founder of Rumble Strategic Creative, said the sponsorship sent a clear signal to the market about confidence in the calibre of work coming out of Queensland.
Kelly Healy, general manager advertising QLD, SA, WA at News Australia, said creativity was the engine that drove everything the industry did.
"Championing it properly matters more than ever. Supporting the people and ideas at the heart of our industry isn't optional; it's the core to who we are," she said.
