At the AICP Next Awards presentation, winners of the Integrated Campaign category present case studies exploring the creative and strategic thinking behind each winning piece.  The AICP Next Awards will be held at the Tishman Auditorium on June 12.  It is one of the tent-pole events of AICP Week, which also includes the AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the American Commercial, premiering June 14 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as AICP Week Base Camp (June 12-14).  Base Camp, which is open throughout AICP Week at The Helen Mills Theater at 137 W. 26th Street, will feature thought provoking seminars, exhibitions, and serve as a gathering spot for AICP Week attendees.

The work of the AICP Next Awards winners, along with that of the honorees of the AICP Show, The Art & Technique of the American Commercial, becomes a part of the archives of The Department of Film at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
