No physical entries will be allowed for this category: You can submit a video and/or a jpeg presentation.

Where necessary, please provide an overview of your entry. Use any combination of jpegs and/or video where appropriate, and provide a written description to enable the judges to understand your entry.


SINGLE ENTRIES – must be entered individually. For example, three posters that are part of a campaign theme must be entered as individual entries, not all as one entry. If in the opinion of the jury, several pieces constitute a campaign, then these entries will be combined into one campaign award. However, for street pole entries, if one communication is executed across three boards, then enter all three boards as one entry

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT REPLACEMENT MATERIAL, so please make sure that the version you have uploaded or sent to us is the correct and final material.

DO NOT PLACE YOUR NAME OR YOUR AGENCY BRANDING ON YOUR ENTRY
