ENTRY REQUIREMENTS & SPECIFICATIONS

KEY ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

  1. Entry materials represent the key components of your submission. They are what the judges will review, watch, and read when making their decisions. 
  2. Material requirements vary by contest and category - some are mandatory, others optional or recommended.
  3. Unlaunched concept or open‑brief works are not eligible for participation (except for the categories of CONCEPT DESIGN and STUDENT DESIGN).
  4. Please make sure your entry is filled in correctly, files meet the category’s technical requirements, and can be shown to judges and publicly.

  6. Entries forming a campaign (or series) of several works must be submitted as a series/campaign of entries. Each entry in the series is paid separately.

  8. Carefully check and double‑check the credits you have entered. These credits will be published on our website exactly as you typed them, and they cannot be altered during judging.
