The Call for Entries to Campaign Brief’s The Work 2024 is out and it’s FREE to enter. The deadline for entries is Monday 15th April, 2024.
Now in its 21st year, The Work features the very best advertising of the year from Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Published by Campaign Brief, The Work is recognised as a true record of creativity for the entire region.
There are three things that differentiate The Work 2024 from traditional award shows:
Firstly, entries are FREE.
Secondly, we are selective – to qualify for entry the ad or campaign must have already “passed the test” and been a WINNER or a FINALIST at a recognised city, national, regional or international awards show between January 1st, 2023 and April 15th, 2024. Entries to the upcoming Cannes Lions in June 2024 can also be submitted to The Work 2024. In the ‘Awards Won’ section write “New Work – Entered into Cannes Lions 2024”.
Thirdly, there is no wasted entry fees – only entries that are accepted into The Work incur an acceptance fee.
All entries are uploaded online: Judging will take place in May and notifications of acceptances will be sent out in late June 2024. Accepted work will be featured in Campaign Brief’s The Work 2024 Gallery.
Entries are open to all agencies, production companies, individuals and suppliers who are based in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Ads that have already been entered in The Work in previous years cannot be entered again.
Entry is FREE. This is not another awards show. The Work is all about recording and recognising the best ads from our region. If your entry is accepted into The Work there will be an ACCEPTANCE FEE of AUD$240 for each single entry and AUD$375 for campaign entries.
In this way there are no wasted entry fees! If none of your entries are selected to appear in The Work there is no fee to be paid. Similarly if your budget this year only stretches to 2 or 3 acceptances – just enter your best 2 or 3 pieces of work.
The first step is to register and then log in. Then follow the upload instructions. See detailed step by step instructions below.
