Multi-award winning visual effects studio Alt.vfx has been announced as the new platinum sponsor of the 2025 BADC Awards as entries open for Queensland’s most prestigious creative awards, celebrating 51 years of excellence in advertising and design.
Since its establishment in 2011 by Colin Renshaw and Takeshi Takada, Alt.vfx has quickly become one of the most respected visual effects studios in Australia, winning Cannes Lions in their very first year of business, along with CLIOs, D&AD awards, LIA recognition, and Mobius awards across their Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Los Angeles and Tokyo operations. The studio has achieved over 92 medals and finalist placings at BADC since 2013, demonstrating their consistent excellence and deep connection to the Queensland creative community.
“The BADC Awards have always been a cornerstone of recognising authentic Queensland creativity,” says Renshaw and Takada. “Our commitment to supporting the industry runs deep – with over 92 BADC medals and finalist placings since 2013, we understand firsthand the importance of celebrating excellence. We’re proud to step up as Platinum Sponsor and support this year’s focus on resilience and craft, which perfectly captures what our industry represents – the ability to create extraordinary work regardless of the challenges we face.”

Full-service creative and post-production house, 3P Studio continues as gold sponsor after its successful two-year tenure as platinum sponsor (2023-2024).
Says Stu Myerscough, Acting BADC President: “After 51 years of celebrating Queensland’s creative excellence, we know the importance of recognising and honouring the extraordinary work our industry produces.
“Despite the challenges this year has brought, Queensland’s creative community continues to push boundaries and deliver exceptional work. The BADC Awards remain the definitive platform to showcase this talent – we encourage every creative professional to submit their best work and be part of this prestigious celebration. There has never been a better way to reach the advertising and design industry of Queensland than sponsoring BADC, and sponsorship packages are still available for organisations looking to connect with the creative community.”
While acknowledging this has been a tough year for many in the industry, the 2025 BADC Awards focus on celebrating the creativity and craft that continues to emerge from Queensland’s advertising and design community. This year’s theme, “It’s All Swings & Roundabouts”, perfectly captures the dynamic nature of the industry – the highs, the lows, and the resilience that keeps the creative spirit alive.
