ABOUT
"Due Monday" does not mean "Do Monday". Awards are complicated. There are many components to an award-winning entry - financial and data reporting, client approval, custom videos - which means you may need obtain approval from all involved parties. Start right now. Review the entry kit. Start contemplating eligible nominations for desired categories and begin an entry. Too often, entrants put things off for weeks and work offline only to find that their carefully edited answers exceed the answer's word limit. Everybody’s been there. The awards deadline is three days away and you suddenly realize you haven’t even started your entries yet. You can take advantage of the extended PRWeek Awards deadline, for a surcharge, but the best way is to plan well in advance and leave sufficient time to put your best foot forward. One of the reasons ad agencies do so well at Cannes is that they are already working on their entries for the following year when the Festival of Creativity comes around each June. The entry deadline this year is October 1, so you have plenty of time to work on your submissions – let’s get started! Why haven't you started yet?
DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
