Entry rules
1. 'Advert' categories will only accept single entries (adverts) not campaigns as a whole. If you want to enter multiple adverts into these categories, you will need to submit & pay for them individually.
2. Low Budget category only, max. £5000 does not include media spend.
3. Add a short description of no more than 60 words as an overview of the project. In the event your entry is nominated, this text will be used on the website to give insight into the project.
4. With each entry as well as your 60-word summary for the website, it is advised to write a short 100- 300 word summary/rationale to explain the basic thought process behind your entry. You will not be judged on this.
Often judges ask
for more details about certain entries and this
ensures they have that information to hand.
What to include:
Purpose - The client and what element of the campaign it was for
Method of output - Where it was displayed
Results - Any increases it generated for the client
Please note: this is
not essential
Entries must have been live to market at some point between March 2022 and March 2023 . Entries do not have to be created within this timescale.
All entries submitted must be legal. Any entries containing offensive material will be disqualified. Any entry that has a complaint upheld against it by the Advertising Standards Authority will be disqualified.
The judges reserve the right to re-allocate entries that in their view are entered in an incorrect category. The judges also reserve the right to remove categories where entries do not meet the standard for nomination.
These entries will not be refunded as they will have been judged accordingly.
