PREPARE YOUR ENTRIES…
Below is a list of the items you will need in order to complete your Ex Award entry:

1. Submitter information (i.e. the entering company’s name, address, website, etc. )
2. Primary submitter contact information (i.e. the point person for all entry details.)
3. Brand-side client contact: name, title, phone, email (Brand-side clients will only be contacted in the event of a discrepancy.)
4. Answers to the 7 Entry Questions below (word limits apply.)

6. Optional: Up to 6 photos (1MB file size limit each.)
7. Optional: Up to 1 video (10 MB file size limit each or URL to hosted video.)

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY QUESTIONS?
We suggest that you make your answers as succinct as possible. Judges appreciate concise, revealing entries! Word limits are not the suggested length – it is the maximum allowable length for each answer.

1. Who/what was the client/brand?  (Word Limit: 50 words)
2. What were the client's primary objectives for this event or experiential program?  (Word Limit:  200)
3. Who was the target audience?  (Word Limit: 100)
4. What was the solution to the client's marketing objectives?  (Word Limit: 400)
5. Describe the experience through the eyes of the target. Any other important factors that were meaningful to the success of the program? What was unique? What was wild and new? What technology was leveraged?  (Word Limit: 400)
6. How did the event or experiential program perform? What were the results? Please quantify and be as specific as possible. Entries without qualified evidence will be penalized.  (Word Limit: 400)
7. Please indicate what supplies and vendors assisted the event agency's execution: exhibit fabricators, operations vendors, mobile builders, tent companies, staffing shops, and so on. If possible, include a brand client quote we can use if you win.   (Word Limit: 200)

DO I NEED TO PROVIDE RESULTS? HOW DO I DO THIS?
YES! Entries without any quantifiable results will be penalized. Be as specific as possible: quote a client on their satisfaction with the results, include measurable impact on sales (if applicable), include information on the brand's commitment to the event in future years, or recap any statistics you gathered which measured the event's success. The more information you provide, the better.  

Please note: Results are not required for entries submitted in the design categories (Vehicle/Environment).

DO I NEED TO PROVIDE PICTURES, VIDEO CLIPS AND ALL SUPPORTING MATERIALS?
We encourage you to submit a thorough, well-rounded entry, so please provide all of the materials you have, but all of these materials are not required. You may submit up to 6 photos (1MB upload limit) and 1 video (10 MB upload limit, or no file limit if hosted on your own website and URL provided.)
