Submission Guidelines
You're free to participate in multiple categories. Each submission is independent, requiring separate payment. Remember, bulk booking at registration guarantees you a discount on multiple entries. All sales are final – no refunds are issued under any circumstances.
Entries will be assessed on strategy, creativity, execution, and effectiveness as per the Sparkie criteria. Submissions should reflect work active between April 2021 and August 2023. Ensure your entry falls within this window.
All submissions must adhere to legal and ethical standards. Entries with inappropriate content will face disqualification. Any entry with a valid complaint against it will also be disqualified.
Their first names carry weight, but their final word is decisive. The Sparkies Jury holds the right to reassign entries placed in incorrect categories or remove categories if the standard for nominations isn't met. Entries that don't progress to the nomination phase aren't eligible for refunds, as they've already undergone evaluation.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ENTRIES
Submitting is straightforward. We've even provided a handy quick-start guide for smoother navigation.
Absolutely! Save your progress and make revisions until the final submission date using your entry dashboard. For modifications, simply follow the provided editing instructions.
Payments can be made via credit/debit/AMEX through our Townscript portal once you've added entries to your cart. If you opt for bank transfers, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. We don't issue physical invoices; the payment screen with your order ID acts as your receipt. Ensure payments are completed by the submission deadline to ensure your entry is considered.
Editing can be done anytime before the submission deadline. Simply log in, navigate to your dashboard, locate your entry, and click the 'Edit' button.
UNDERSTANDING THE JUDGING PROCESS
After the final submission date, our panel of industry veterans will review your entry and all uploaded materials. By submitting, you grant us the right to publish and display your materials, including generated screen grabs and reports.
Think you've got the chops to be on our Judges' panel? We're on the lookout for innovative creatives and marketers. Your expertise will further enrich the legacy of the DMA Brandmasters Jury.
While we value the essence of constructive feedback, we are unable to provide specific remarks from our judges. However, you can always reach out to our team if you seek clarity about the evaluation process and decision-making criteria.
