ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 

Entry materials are the most important elements of your entry. This is what the judges will examine, watch and read during their decision-making.

Please make sure that the version you have uploaded is final and it is can be used for judging and shown publicly. Do not upload 'holding media' (i.e. incorrect/fake JPG, MP3, MOV, MP4, etc.)

Each advertisement constitutes one entry. 

Advertisements which form a campaign must be entered and paid for as single entries.

All websites or other online materials must be submitted via a URL, even if only posted temporarily for the purpose of the judging.

URLs must start with ‘http://’ or ‘https://’ and preferably accessible without a login or password.

Please make sure that your entry is accessible online by 30 June 2018. Entries which cannot be accessed for judging due to long periods of server downtime will not be considered by the Jury. 

If the original language of your entry/application is not English, you should provide a clear demonstration of your app/ site/ game within your case film, or you may provide additional URL (PRESENTATION WEBPAGE URL) which leads to a page which explains your work in English.

Please provide account details to download your app if it is not available globally.

Please carefully check and re-check the credits you have entered. These credits will be published on our website exactly as you have typed them. Credits cannot be altered during judging. 

It will be in your own interest to explain or translate any specific word play or local, social, cultural or political references and nuances.
