Requirements
1. All entries must provide a URL that will either take the judges directly to the entry, or to a non-branded landing page hosting all entry elements. Include any necessary user identification and passwords and note if there are any specific requirements (preferred browsers, applications etc.). Archived entries are also accepted.
To ensure the judging process is bias-free there are absolutely no agency or production house branded landing pages allowed. No copy other than entry identification allowed (banner ad, print ad, online video, etc.).
2. All entries require an overview (maximum 250 words, uploaded Word document) in the following format:
- Scenario overview and challenges faced
- Target audience
- Objectives
- Solution
- Results
Email and e-commerce entries also require statistics as outlined in the categories page.
3. All entries require a concise navigation outlining a path for judges to follow (within the same Word document as the overview). While it is understood that the consumer would not have a navigation to lead them through a site, judges have a large volume of entries to evaluate in a short period of time. Your navigation will ensure judges do not overlook an important aspect of the entry.
4. All winning entries are published with a picture in the awards issue and featured at the awards gala. We do not contact any winners before the gala, therefore all entries must provide a screen grab or alternate image, as a JPEG at 300dpi resolution, minimum of 3" wide.
It will be assumed that each entry has permission from the advertiser / owner of the rights of the entry which has been submitted. Full client information must be provided.
Entry must have been compliant with the applicable privacy regulations at the time it was in market.
Judging requires sites to be active from entry time until the end of November. Judges are encouraged to revisit sites that are experiencing temporary difficulties; however prolonged lapses of server availability may forfeit a site's opportunity for consideration. Marketing will host a link to the 2010 Digital Marketing Awards winners throughout 2010 so winners are encouraged to keep sites active until December 31, 2010.
*A note on "Results": While the Digital Marketing Awards recognizes that results are the ultimate measure of success, it is understood that results are often limited or unavailable. The provision of results are not mandatory for a entry to be submitted, however the judges will give special recognition to those who can provide results that clearly quantify the contribution of that entry.
