OPEN FOR ENTRY

Effie Awards United States

ELIGIBILITY

Marketing efforts that ran in the United States between September 1, 2020, and August 31, 2021, are eligible to enter the 2022 competition.

Any and all marketing efforts, whether full campaigns or targeted contributing efforts within a campaign are eligible to enter the competition. You may submit any one or any multiple combinations of mediums - any examples of work that demonstrate how you tackled your objectives. You must detail the "why" behind the strategy and provide proof that your work achieved significant results.

The work and results being evaluated by the judges must fall within this eligibility period. Elements of the work may have been introduced earlier and may have continued after the eligibility period, but your case must be based on data relative to the qualifying time from 9/1/20-8/31/21.

All results must be isolated to the United States and you cannot include results after August 31, 2021*; this will result in disqualification.

Exception: If work launched in August 2020 or ended in September 2021, you may include work/results from that period for review by the judges. Further, results collected between 9/1/2021-10/31/2021 that are directly tied to marketing activity within the eligibility period (through 8/31/21) may be included. Review all Eligibility rules in the Entry Kit.
