For years people have asked…
“Ashley, can you share an Awards Calendar?”
To be fully transparent...
1) It's not a thing that's set in stone and has been in flux *hello, 2020*
2) It felt like I was sharing my team's hand since we're on the pulse of these changes daily
3) Most importantly, I didn't feel comfortable putting out this info without it being CUSTOM. My strategists at Brave Dog create deep-dive roadmaps and entry materials for each team's specific goal and creative work.
But with the creative world (and beyond) in flux, I decided to create a guide with the 50+ most popular and coveted Award Competitions. Think creative marketing types: Cannes Lion, The Clios, Webbys, Shorty, D&AD, AdWeek, Effies, One Show, GEMA (fka: Promax), etc.
Award Competition Guide includes:
– Top Competitions
– Typical Deadline
– Most Known For
– Typical Eligibility
– Tier (in terms or prestige)
– Entry Type (what level of effort goes into submitting)
– What is strongly recommended (how to ensure your entries are competitive… spoiler: it's not the bare minimum entry requirements)
Hopefully this guide can help you and your team navigate the ever-changing-award-waters during this murky time. And if you WANT a helping hand beyond this high-level guide, just holler! Happy to see what we can do together. Creativity can not cease to be seen or celebrated.
To empowering the creative forces!
