Download the entry form for full details on the judging criteria, scoring breakdown, and guidance on supporting documents and formats. Complete the form with all relevant information and attachments, then submit it as a Word or PDF file.
Upload your form and supporting documents using the secure online portal by completing your company profile and details. Make your entry payment (see pricing below) and your final submissions will be handed to a judging panel.
All entries must not exceed 1000 words. The 1000-word limit applies exclusively to the judging criteria/question sections of the submission. (e.g. Objectives & budget, Target audience & strategy, Implementation & creativity). The Company Description and all Supporting Documents (e.g. Infographics, links, testimonials) are excluded from this count.
When creating a title for your entry, please structure your title in the following format: “Agency Name & Client Name – Campaign/Product/Tool/Website Name” or just “Company/Team Name” for agency/team awards.
Entries should relate to work undertaken between April 2025 - August 2026.
Please ensure you fill out a separate Word/PDF document entry form for each submission. For example, if you submit three entries, you will need to complete three individual entry forms, making sure to tick the correct category and upload these separately on submission.
If you are loading the same entry into a different category, you will need to edit your form and details accordingly and make sure the correct category is ticked. If the correct category is not ticked, your entry may be classed as void and therefore not judged.
Entry questions are dependent on your chosen category, please take care when filling out each entry form. If your entry form does not match your online submission and category selection, your entry may be classed as a duplication error and may not be judged.
Entry forms can be designed to your company branding, as long as they contain the original questions and headings in the correct order in which judges mark them.
Please ensure you read the terms and conditions before submitting an entry.
