This will not only be a great opportunity to network with your peers, but also a chance to celebrate the greatest achievements of the industry from the last 12 months.

We will happily offer feedback to anyone who enters, whether successfully shortlisted or not. This can be requested once judging has taken place. Please note, although we ask, not all judges provide written feedback, so in some rare instances this may not be possible.

We acknowledge that the use of AI has become increasingly common, transforming how people work and the outputs they deliver. In light of this, we expect entrants to indicate clearly where AI has been used - whether in the development of the work itself or in shaping the written entry or any associated assets submitted as part of that entry.

We would not publish your entry without prior permission. If you were shortlisted, we may publish your Executive Summary so we do ask no confidential information is included within this. If you win, we would do a write up on your entry, but this shouldn't include any confidential information. You can additionally mark parts of your entry as confidential/not for publication to ensure this, this, provided such restrictions are not used unreasonably.

Please note, if you are providing mp3 files as part of your entry, these may be played at the awards night if you are to win to showcase your winning work.

Haymarket Events, part of Haymarket Media Group, is committed to ensuring that all entrants and entries are judged fairly, equitably and by their peers. With this in mind, we would like to remind all entrants that we expect them to enter their work in good faith, with honesty and integrity.

We expect all entries to represent bona fide work that a company or agency is proud to have produced.

We acknowledge that the use of AI has become increasingly common, transforming how people work and the outputs they deliver. In light of this, we expect entrants to indicate clearly where AI has been used - whether in the development of the work itself or in shaping the written entry or any associated assets submitted as part of that entry.

If it becomes clear that an entry, or if the work entered, has been fabricated in any way, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Haymarket Media Group reserves the right to disqualify the entry.

If results have already been published, we retain the right to rescind the award and will publish an explanation on our relevant brand sites. Please note: any such decision will be made in consultation with the Chair of Judges and/or relevant judging panel.

Haymarket Media Group stands by its values of creativity, expertise, integrity, innovation, and respect. We expect everyone who enters, judges, or attends our events to uphold these same principles.

Judging Process

Our judges are leading industry experts and professionals. We select judges for their expertise, experience and impartiality. Judges will be announced shortly.

You can nominate yourself or a colleague here for review. If you are successful, you will receive an invitation within two weeks.

Entries are judged based on a set of criteria outlined for each award category - you can find out more in the Entry Kit here. The judging process is rigorous and involves multiple rounds of review to ensure fairness and accuracy. The judges' decisions are final.

Yes, the judging process is strictly confidential. Judges are bound by a non-disclosure agreement, and all information submitted in your entry is kept confidential.

Of course! We would just ensure you weren't judging your own entry or category(ies) you entered to maintain the integrity of the judging process.
