WHAT THE JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR:


"I'll be looking for a really clear insight that drives the activation but also a brilliant creative execution that takes it a step above."


"A winning entry needs to have a compelling strategy that is brilliantly executed in channel. I want to feel that pang of 'I wish I'd done that' jealousy."


"Take the judges on a journey. What problem were you trying to solve? How did you develop the campaign? What was the impact? And on reflection, what was remarkable about the output?"

"You're looking for something that when you read it or see it you instantly go "ah yes" and have the feeling of a penny dropping. I also like ideas and awards papers that make me smile, written in a human way."

"Don't forget to let your agency or team personality shine."
