How to enter

All the information below will help you put your entry together for the 2012 awards.

When your PDF submissions are ready for entry, click the 'Enter Now' button on the top of the page.

General Criteria

 

Who can enter

Who can enter. The awards are open to brand-owners, agencies, marketing services providers and the individuals who work within them. All work entered into the categories must be either carried out in the UK or where involving work overseas, initiated, co-ordinated and evaluated by a UK office or UK based staff. Where both a brand and their agency/marketing services provider enter the same project into a category, the entries will be treated as a joint entry for the purposes of judging. Because both entries will have to be processed before a decision about joint entry can be made, any duplicated entry fee will be forfeited.

Companies or individuals may submit entries on behalf of themselves or others and may enter any number of categories, but no single campaign may be entered into more than three categories.

International work by UK brands, agencies and marketing service providers can be included in any relevant category.

Eligibility

Except where indicated, submissions should relate to the period between 1 September 2010 and 30 October 2011. Please note that entries which have been submitted for the 2011 Revolution Awards cannot be submitted in 2012. The organisers reserve the right to retain entries for subsequent publication in connection with the Awards. Descriptions of submissions from winners and runners-up will be published in connection with the Awards. Entrants may mark certain sensitive parts of their entry 'not for publication' (such as exact budget figures etc.), provided such restrictions are not used unreasonably.

General entry and information

Entries into the Revolution Awards 2012 must be submitted online.

Your written entry paper must be no more than two single sheets of A4 (12 point type, single line), which will need to be uploaded from your desktop. All entries should be uploaded following the template set out below. Entries exceeding two sides will be automatically disqualified and entry fees forfeited. To enter the categories these requirements must be adhered to, along with any other criteria shown below.

Entries must be uploaded in pdf format.

Template for your two-page written entry

Your written entry is the basis on which you will be judged and shortlisted. The two pages should show how you meet all of the criteria in your chosen category. At the beginning of your two pages the following information must be listed:
- Category entered
- Title of work
- Client/company
- URL for supporting microsite: where password protected, please provide a User ID and a Password for the Judges to access the microsite. Please note that the microsite must remain live until end of April 2012.

Sub-headings

Within your two pages you must then use the following as sub-headings under which you clearly enter your information, as necessary:
- Objective/brief from client
- Strategy
- Method deployed
- Outcome, including formal evaluation of results, relation to objectives and cost-effectiveness
- Creativity/innovation
- Indication of outside contractors where used
- Category specific information, if not already part of your submission document
- People: include names of team members involved in the actual work
The details you provide, using these sub-headings for guidance, will help the judges make their decisions.

Support material

To support your written entry, where relevant, you are allowed to upload back-up material produced for the project and/or 4 images of 300dpi. Please note there is a 5mb limit on the website per entry.
 
Video may also be submitted to support an entry in any category. Please note that the judges will only have the opportunity to watch approximately 45 seconds of each video/DVD so ensure that the work submitted is relevant and concise. Please provide videos hosted online via YouTube or other websites.

The above list is only suggested support material; you may send whatever you feel is appropriate for your entry, as long as it is relevant. Please do not send reams of information. It is better to be targeted than copious. All material must be clearly labelled. If an entry is entered into more than one category, please indicate this clearly.

Collection of work. It is not possible to return support material. After judging, all entries that have not been short-listed as finalists will be destroyed. All other entries will be destroyed after the Awards ceremony has taken place.

The extended entry deadline for entries is 1 December 2011.
