By opening up our nomination process to One Club Members, the Creative Hall of Fame is casting a wider net for potential laureates. Even so, all nominees must demonstrate strong showings in the following three criteria:
The TDC Medal recognizes individuals and institutions who have made outstanding contributions to the field of typography. The Medal represents our collective gratitude to those who by their work and talent have demonstrated the value of typography in communication, community, and culture.
Nominations are exclusively a One Club for Creativity member benefit. If you are not a member, we invite you to review the benefits and join here. If you are not a member, you will be charged $200 which will grant you membership for the next year. The membership team will be in touch once you have checked out.
ADCE members are now able to receive One Club for Creativity member benefits including the ability to nominate Creative Hall of Fame inductees. Please use the discount code provided by ADCE for your free nomination. (Don't have your code? Email chof@oneclub.org.)
Before you nominate someone for the Creative Hall of Fame, please review the list of requirements below. It is highly recommended that you gather and prepare them in advance before beginning the nomination process.
Please also review the list of past inductees, as they may have been previously inducted.
These may be submitted as video (mov, mp4), image (jpeg, png), audio file (mp3), pdf, or via URL.
These must each be submitted as a URL to a page providing recognition of your nominee for their career or creative achievements.
Each letter must be submitted as a PDF.
You undoubtedly believe that your nominee is worthy of this honor, but do others feel as strongly as you do? As part of your submission, you must include letters of support from your nominee’s contemporaries, each one detailing their thoughts on why the contender deserves consideration.
After reviewing and gathering all information and materials listed above, One Club members can go to the nomination page to begin a submission.
You will be taken through several steps to complete the nomination.
1 – NOMINEE
This section collects high-level information about your nominee and the award for which you are nominating them. After proceeding from this first step, you will then be asked for the additional information and materials to support your nomination. Don't forget to add a headshot to this section after you proceed.
2 – SUPPORTING MATERIALS
This section is where you will provide your examples of the nominee's creative work, letters of support, and any additional media you would like to include. Click either the pencil edit icon in the upper right of this section or the red "X" icon to begin. You will then add media to each of the media sections (Creative Work, Letters of Support, Additional Materials). Make sure to read the requirements for each section.
NOTE: While not required, adding a title and brief description to your media may help our selection committee better understand your submission.
3 – INFORMATION
In this step, you will provide more background information about your nominee. Select at least one field that they are most known for and provide 1-3 links to more information about them (online biography, Wikipedia page, etc.). This is also where you will provide 1-10 links to accolades or recognitions they have received.
Once you've completed everything on this form, click "Proceed to Nominations List."
You will then need to Submit from the Nominations page. You can submit one or multiple nominations from this page at the same time.
