Background
In October 2019, A2C announced the launch of the Idéa Awards in partnership with Société des designers graphiques du Québec (SDGQ), and with the support of Infopresse and several partners. An agreement has been reached with Infopresse to ensure a smooth transition with existing awards that have been brought together under Idéa.
