11th Annual Lovie Awards

The Lovie Awards Competition is open to all organisations and individuals involved in designing, building, managing, maintaining, marketing, or promoting Websites, Online Advertising, Internet Video, Apps, Mobile Sites & Podcasts, and Social content for European business, consumer, or general audiences. Here are some helpful guidelines for making sure the entry process goes off without a hitch.

Rules

All work entered into The Lovie Awards must be created by a company or individual on behalf of a European-based client or individual, for use by European web audiences. Entries must have been in general use for at least part of the current calendar year. Entries do not, however, need to have been created this year. There is no limit to the number of entries that may be submitted by any entrant, nor is there a limit to the number of categories you may enter. A completed online entry form and fee must accompany each entry.

Unacceptable Material
Entries that contain pornographic material, propagate “hate” messages, make defamatory statements, or which are otherwise extraordinarily offensive are not eligible.

Fake/Spec Work
Entries, specifically those entered into the Online Advertising category, that are fake or produced as spec work (not commissioned or paid for by a client or media entity) will not be eligible for judging.

Disqualification
Ineligible entries may be disqualified at any phase of the competition without notification.

Acknowledgment of Entries
Entrants will receive an email acknowledgment when an entry has been received.

Terms and Conditions of Entry/Usage
The Lovie Awards assumes all entries are original and the entrant either owns the work or has permission from a client or other appropriate party to enter the work, with all rights granted therein. In the event that an entrant without such rights submits an entry, the entrant will not be eligible for the competition. The Lovie Awards are not liable for any copyright infringement on the part of the entrant.

Entries must be live and available on the internet from the date of entry through to December 2018, and accessible via http and standard web browsers.

Work that is online within a limited timeframe, such as competitions or campaigns, can submit case study sites or videos of the work. It must be available online through to December 2018.

Submission of any entry (including Internet Video entries) acknowledges the right of The Lovie Awards to use it for exhibition, promotion, and publication purposes in any medium.

Timely submission of an entry meeting the eligibility requirements and payment of the entry fee as stated herein ensures that an entrant’s work will be reviewed and considered for recognition. No other representation or warranty is made by The Lovie Awards concerning entries and all implied warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.

If an entry receives an award, the manner and details of announcing such nomination and award is strictly within the discretion of The Lovie Awards. Entrant understands that all awards may not be given or publicised in the same manner and some might be presented in a ceremony while others might not.

Foreign Language Entries

Websites / Mobile Sites, Apps & Podcasts / Online Advertising / Social: work must be accessible to our English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and Swedish speaking judges. In categories that may not depend on language, other language sites are eligible if they are highly visual or otherwise not dependent on language.

Internet Video: all Internet Video entries in any language other than English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, or Swedish MUST be dubbed or subtitled.

Entering the Brand Strategy Category
The Brand Strategy addition to the Online Advertising group of categories was created to reflect the innovative uses of media to promote a brand in an online advertising strategy. Please provide a URL to a splash page, or short mini movie explaining the work and its effectiveness, innovation, and integration. You may also link directly to the work itself. Please keep in mind that it is to your advantage to provide as much information as you can for the judging process.
