The Guide

Tips & Notes to make your entries better!

Know your briefs!

  • Do you know your chosen brief inside out?

  • Can you explain it one sentence?

  • Have you researched the brand?

  • Are you clear on what you’ve been asked to deliver?

Challenge

The Idea

  • Think you really have a winning idea?

  • Why will anyone care?

  • Would the audience engage with it?

  • Does it achieve the goals?

  • How does it fit with the brand?

  • Does it excite the brand’s stakeholders?

  • Is it original?

Make It A Winner

  • Don’t go with an obvious idea. Chances are lots of other people will have too.

  • Get to the point. Don’t explain the brief, draw the judges in with the big idea.

  • The judges watch hundreds of ideas back to back. Make sure yours is memorable. 

Tips! Tips! Tips!

Use your time wisely & WOW the judges

Don’t Include The Brief

Don’t waste time telling the judges what they already know. You can talk about how you interpreted the brief and how this led to your response.

Don’t Make It Fancy

You don’t need to make it elaborate and fancy. A clearly presented idea and relevant executions are just as effective.

Focus on the creative idea and its relevance to the audience

Be careful with mockups and videos

While demonstrating using mock-ups and screenshots, clearly show how it would work. If you’re using videos / photos, then please don’t include photos or footage where you can be identified. So no vlogs where you are the narrator or anchor, don’t include your name, university, agency, etc.

Summarise Your Ideas

Get the jury’s attention. You can use the rest of your
time to go into more detail if you need to. Don’t make
the judges wait until the end to find out your solution.
Show the key elements of your work. Keep the layout clean, simple and uncluttered.

Horizontal / Landscape / 16:9
is always better for the judges.

Your deck / slides / PDF must be
clear and easy to view.

Make sure text is big enough
to be read without zooming
