Our mission
Over the past 40 years Campaign has been the champion of creativity.
It was fitting that we launched awards schemes to allow creatives to be judged by their harshest critics - their peers. First there was Press, then Poster, Direct and Digital.
Now we are combining these schemes with creative radio and television to form a new multidisciplinary awards event.
The Campaign Big Awards will reflect how agencies work for their clients. They will honour all media side by side, and be based on product categories, not craft skills or media channels.
We are recruiting more than 70 eminent judges for their expertise as originators or buyers of creative advertising. In the Campaign Big Awards, they will be looking for ideas that are creatively distinctive and successful for the featured brands.
Find out about how to enter the Campaign Big Awards here, and make a note on your calendar of two key dates:
Friday 20 June 2008 - the closing date for entries
Wednesday 22 October 2008 - the night of the Campaign Big Awards presentation.
Very best of luck.

What key industry figures think
Nigel Bogle, the Campaign Big Awards' chairman of judges and group chairman at Bartle Bogle Hegarty:
"I believe that uniting different disciplines within a single scheme reflects much more accurately the reality of today's communication landscape and the Big Awards will become a key reference point for the whole of UK creativity."
Donald Gunn, ad industry guru and creator of The Gunn Report:
"Campaign Big Awards are good news. Advertising folks all around the world are highly interested in the work from the UK and awarding it by product categories, which includes all the media, and is a fresh and useful way to look at it. The timing is intelligent, too. It should bring in a whole lot of new work that breaks after the summer awards season's deadlines."
