How do I submit my entries?
There are formatting requirements specific to the work and categories you are entering. Follow the instructions in the Formatting guide PDF to make sure your work is submitted correctly.
 
Can I enter our work into multiple categories?
Work can be entered into as many categories as you choose. However, owing to the product sector category definitions, there is little option for duplicate entry. Where there could be an overlap or possible confusion, we have tried to clarify: for instance, automotive F&I packages would be entered under the Financial, Corporate & Utilities category, not under Automotive. Work can be entered singularly and as part of a campaign. It should only be entered into each category once.

What if another entrant has submitted the work I want to enter?
Two different entrants cannot enter the same work in the same category. It is your responsibility to ensure that work is not being submitted by anyone else in the same category.
