IS THERE A CHARGE TO ENTER THE DIGITAL MEDIA AWARDS?
There is a charge of €140 per entry + 23% VAT. Multiple entries are encouraged; 4 entries may be made for the price of 3. Entry for Digital Student of Year Category has no charge!
CAN I SUBMIT THE SAME ENTRY INTO MULTIPLE CATEGORIES?
Yes, the same submission may be entered into all relevant categories. Please note that different categories have different weights per section so please take this into consideration when entering the same text into different categories. Be sure to tick the box at the end before adding to cart to copy your entry into another category.
I AM WORKING ABROAD, CAN I ENTER THE DIGITAL MEDIA AWARDS?
Yes, you can enter every category as long as the campaign was managed in Ireland.
I WON’T SEE THE RESULTS OF MY CAMPAIGN UNTIL AFTER THE DEADLINE, SHOULD I STILL ENTER?
In short, yes. A large proportion of the criteria is to see the makings of the campaign and all the behind-the-scenes work it takes to launch. Make sure to double-check the weight of marks given in the results section and instead talk about your projections and include any feedback/tester comments that would indicate your projected results.
WHAT TIME FRAME MUST THE CAMPAIGN COVER?
Between January 2024 and entry closing date. If your campaign ran outside of this time frame, the majority of the campaign must fall in between these months.
IS THERE A WORD LIMIT?
The ‘Submission Details’ section on the entry form has a maximum word count of 2,500 words. Please keep your information concise and relevant.
WHAT DATE DO ENTRIES CLOSE?
The deadline is 11th July 2025. We accept bribery in the form of chocolate for any further extensions.
JUDGING
HOW DOES THE JUDGING PROCESS WORK FOR EACH ROUND?
Judging, insofar as possible, will be remote. Two judges will judge each application and the final score will be the average of the two marks. In the case that the average score is the same, a 3rd independent judge will review the top 3 entries.
WHEN ARE ENTRIES JUDGED?
The judging commences July 2025 regardless of any extensions given.
