Creating a really brilliant piece of work is useful, but not essential. You’d be amazed at the amount of stuff that’s entered for awards that is barely competent, let alone outstanding. Sometimes it even wins a gold. 2. It helps if your company is a big name, preferably one that’s known for creative advertising. It shouldn’t, but it does. 3. If the piece has had wide exposure it’s better placed than if it ran once in the local rag. Unless it’s not that good in the first place or it’s been over-exposed. 4. Come up with something that really stands out in its environment. All car ads pretty much looked the same until Volkswagen came along.

Although the world still awaits truly ground-breaking ads for corporate multinationals.“What me? Sell myself? You have to be joking!”This was the response I received from one of my clients when I suggested that she needed to get out there and promote herself. She had to “network”.The Oxford English Dictionary defines networking as “interacting with others to exchange information and de 5.

Make sure the entry goes to the right place at the right time with all the right bits and bobs. I recently judged a field of twenty-nine different entries for an award. Three had items missing and one had neglected to include the work altogether. What a waste of time, effort and entry fee. 8. Get someone who can write clearly and concisely to complete the application form. Don’t exceed the word count, but don’t make it too short either. It looks bad if it’s padded out (and probably means it wasn’t worth entering in the first place). Remember, you’ve only got a short time to impress – or put off – a judge. 9. Keep entering. There are so many organisations and publications dishing out awards that you’re bound to win something sometime. Even if it’s only Runner-Up for Best Use of Colour in a Small Space in Widget World Weekly. 10. Be lucky.
