/ 2019 Awards Categories

GENERAL RULES

All entries must have been made for and broadcast on a UK platform – entries made for broadcast for a different territory should be entered in the relevant Promax competition. The exception to this rule is the ‘Best UK production for non-UK broadcast’ award, which is made by a UK team but broadcast outside of the UK.

We are doing away with the laborious task of making reels. Please only enter the work as a single comp with an explanatory caption before each item that makes up the entry. An effectiveness paragraph/crib sheet will also be asked for on certain categories.

The work must have been transmitted on a UK platform between 1st September 2018 and 31st August 2019.

Maximum duration of promos is 90”.

Entries for 2019 are closed, entries for 2020 will open later in the year.
