Entry Criteria

Entries for The Annual are now closed. If you would like to speak to someone with regard to the entry process for next year please email theannual@centaur.co.uk. In the meantime the information below is for reference only.

Work entered must have been produced or first launched/broadcast/published during 2012 to be eligible for entry.

Work selected for The Annual will be based on the following criteria:

  • Does it innovate?
  • Is it powerful?
  • Is it appropriate?
  • Does it achieve its objectives?
  • It is original?
  • Is it beautiful?

Although work is not judged by category in the manner of other awards programmes, we have found it useful to list categories to help with the administration of the judging process.

For this process entries have been broken down into the following areas which are to be entered into either the Single (one piece of work) or Series/Campaign (2-5 pieces of work) categories:

  • Advertising
  • Design
  • Digital
  • Music Video

 

For full information on what should be submitted in each category, please see the What to Enter page.

How will the work be showcased?

–   Work selected for the Annual will be showcased in chronological order by Month and not by category. The Annual will be published in the May 2013 issue of CR.

–   There are no category winners or restrictions on the number of works to be selected for The Annual, we leave that up to the judges.

–   Entries deemed to be of outstanding quality in the opinion of our judges will be further honoured as ‘Best in Book'. All work will be considered for this accolade and there is no additional entry fee.
