Lol. I saw them award a white Hispanic woman and they are a tone deaf group that's for sure.
Does Cannes do anything else for the rest of the year? Adcolor is a platform to celebrate Black and brown folks in our industry at all levels. And even if it's just for one week, if it didn't exist, you would be on here asking why there isn't an award show "by us for us".

They never say anything tangible when you call them out. Came in here talking about cannes
I checked out of adcolor after I made semifinalist to the futures thing, only to be told I wasn't moving forward because i didn't ask the interviewer enough questions about her (????). They went on to bring in a whole host of pretty white passing folks as finalists and at that moment I knew the whole thing is one of those vibes based false support things that prey on the black community spirit.

I feel like adcolor just pits us against each other. Why can’t we all be adcolor futures? Why do we have to apply and then be sorted through by some arbitrary guidelines? We’re all POC in the industry. We should all qualify.
And the AOR for AC this year is not a POC owned agency, so that too is problematic.
Opportunity for diverse people to come together and connect. It’s one of the easier ways to advance your career on the agency or brand side.
If you work in advertising, you should be a strong networker and Adcolor connect you to connected people.
