When submitting logos, please send an illustrator eps logo for the brand/client and entering agency only. We request only the names of any other agencies/consultancies that may have contributed to the entry; these will be credited in the online Awards Supplement only. Please do not send any logos for companies listed in this field.

***SUPPORTING MATERIAL

When making your entry you may upload a piece of supporting material if necessary – for example a pdf, Word, Excel, Powerpoint or Jpeg file. Please ensure that your entry template, supporting material and logos together do not exceed the maximum upload limit of 5MB per entry.

Cost £295 + UK VAT per entry. For full payment information please see the Costs page.

COMMERCIAL CONFIDENCE

It is very important that you fully complete the entry template. In particular, details of return on investment and budget should be provided. The more information you supply, the better the judges will be able to assess your entry. Please bear in mind that the first round of judging will be done solely on the basis of the entry template.

For the purposes of judging, all information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence and will only be viewed by the judging panel and the Chair of Judges. However, in order to compile the online Awards Supplement, some information may be needed from the winners' and any highly commended written entries. Any information that is commercially sensitive and which may not be used should be clearly marked 'judges eyes only'.
