Entry Criteria & FAQs
These awards are open for anyone working in the UK media industry, covering the complete ecosystem from media agencies and media owners to brands and tech businesses. We invite entries from overseas as long as those individuals or businesses serve the UK market.
All entries must be based on performance or work carried out from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 as it celebrates the achievements in the calendar year of 2024.
We have tried to make the entry process as simple as possible. Each entry has a maximum word count of approximately 700 words, plus any links and images. We do not request any specific video content be created for these awards.
All of this information can be found on the homepage here. We have an early bird offer for £329 per entry if you submit by Friday 1 August, and then the official deadline is Friday 29 August at £399 per entry. We will accept late entries up until Friday 5 September but these entries will cost £499 per entry.
A panel of judges, largely made-up of industry and trade body leaders, will review and score their allocation of entries. These scores will determine the shortlist, and of course, the eventual winners.
All entries will remain confidential and be viewed by the judges only. Winning entries will be shared on the Adwanted Events website with sensitive material removed and agreed by the entrants.
Winners will be announced as part of our exclusive leadership series of Pathfinders events on the morning of 5 November 2025. The event will be invite-only and will run for approx. 2 hours including a content agenda and networking. Under no circumstances will winning details be disclosed before that time.
