The judging and prize award format explained.
All the work is democratically judged by the _ agency creatives. This will take place over a full day session in March 2015. A shortlist is agreed with the judge from the agency that set the brief having particular sway in the work best suited to their agencies brief.
First and foremost they’re looking for fantastic ideas, beautifully written and art directed - spelling and grammar are always a discussion point. The main disciplines of advertising, design and digital may combine to form an integrated campaign solution. You’ll be judged on how brilliantly have you brought the idea to life across all the channels.
The winning entrant from each brief WINS the placement*. Then, each of the brief winners goes forward into a final nomination shortlist for a Bronze, Silver or Gold status. With the ultimate winners of the metalware being announced at the Roses Advertising Awards Gala Dinner which is held in May 2015.
