NOTES FOR ENTRANTS
1
The awards are open to any interactive marketing or advertising
campaign run during 2003/2004.
2
Projects may be entered into more than one category as
appropriate, but an entry fee must be paid for each category entered.
The majority of categories are open to entries from any interactive
medium or combination of media; only in the "Best Use Of..."
categories is entry restricted to the specific medium or platform.
3
The judges reserve the right to recategorise entries if they think
another category would be more suitable. However, they cannot be
expected to routinely recategorise incorrectly entered projects.
4
Sponsors are not allowed to enter the category they are sponsoring.
5
Entries must cover the criteria set out for each category. They may
be accompanied by supporting information no longer than two sides
of A4. The first round of judging will be done solely on the basis of the
written submissions.
7
Please make sure any access details and passwords needed for
judging are supplied, that they work, and that they will continue to
work until the awards ceremony on 10 November 2004.
8
If you are entering an iTV project, please make sure you supply your
entries, where possible, in a format that will allow the judges to
interact with the content in the manner that was intended for the
viewers. The judges will be using a range of playout facilities,
including PC/Mac (for Director or similar formats), Liberate and
Sky/OpenTV developer environments, MHEG stream sources and live
access to all digital platforms. Content should be submitted as an
interactive digital file (emulating the interactive TV application,
capable of playing on a PC or Mac platform where the interactivity is
controlled via a keyboard); or in a variety of source file formats. The
judges will accept a VHS tape if other formats are not possible.
