The Global Advertising Awards

Deadline and Festival Dates are August 31st and November respectively.


Please be as thorough as possible in filling out information, title, client, publication dates, etc. Remember that this is the information the judges will be using to review your submission.

ENGLISH

If your submission is in any language other than English, please submit an English translation of any (all) text or audio that you feel the judges should know.

MEDIA

The website will convert your video and image files, so will accept most standard formats. Videos should be typically 30-60 second spots or shorts of approximately 3 minutes. Please be aware that in some countries, uploads may be intermittent and disrupted, or may be slow because of bandwidth issues. Be patient and if uploading or online submission is a problem, please contact registration@globalbestawards.com for instructions for mailing your submission(s) on CD/DVD. 

PUBLICATION

Submissions to all but the Technology/Experimental category,should have been published between November 01, 2009 and August 01, 2011. Ads or works must have been contracted, commissioned for a client and will have been aired, broadcast or published between the dates ascribed.

Scam Ads

In light of the practice of some to submit ads fraudulently to awards competitions in recent years, any submissions that might be flagged as suspicious will be investigated and the entrant may be required to provide proof of publication of the work.

NOTE: No Need to worry about being disqualified or banned from the competition if the work you want to submit has not been published or was not created for a client. GBA has a special categories section, Technology/Experimental that relaxes the restrictions. There is a Wild Card selection under that category that pretty much has no restrictions.

PENALTY

Any submissions found and proven to be fraudulently entered into the competition will be immediately disqualified. Submission fees will be forfeited and the entrant may be disqualified from the competition permanently. Entries disqualified for breach of rules and policies will be published as news on the website. Please submit your unpublished or spec ads in the GBA special Technology/Experimental categories section to prevent any problem.
