Each entry must be in its original form and must have been produced or implemented during 2009 by a firm or individual located in Texas. Each entry must be prepared according to the checklist below or will be subject to disqualification. The decision of the judges is final.
How-to-Enter Checklist: |
 |
1. Each entry must be mounted on a SINGLE 24" x 18" black mounting board, no larger and no smaller, with the category number and name and entry title affixed to the front of the board.
For oversized two- or three-dimensional items, submit photograph(s), illustration(s) and/or graphical representation(s) of the entry mounted on black board. Entries may include samples, application examples, photos, illustrations, press clippings, media clips, reports, tables, charts, testimonials and other documented evidence.
All entries, including audio, video and digital media, must have a hard copy representation of the entry mounted on a 24" x 18" black mounting board that can be used for gallery display.
- For radio entries, on a black board, mount a typewritten script and a CD of the ad, both enclosed in a plastic sleeve for easy removal.
- For video, TV, multimedia, animation and computer-based or digital video entries, produce hard copy printouts of key scenes, storyboards or graphics that best represent the entry and mount them on a black board, attaching a DVD of the entry enclosed in a plastic sleeve for easy removal. Remember to save video so that it can be viewed on a mac or pc. We suggest that you save it as both a quicktime and wmp file. Or you may provide a link to the video on YouTube. If you save your file on a password protected YouTube page, please provide the necessary information.
- For Web sites, produce hard copy printouts or graphics of the home page and at least two other pages that best represent the Web site and mount them on black board. Attach to the board the URL of the Web site or a DVD of the Web site in a plastic sleeve for easy removal and include instructions on how to launch the Web site using the DVD.
- For Market Research categories, mount charts, tables and/or other hard copy representations or evidence of the project on black board. The submission of blinded materials is permitted to ensure confidentiality. NO binders.

On the top of each typewritten page, include the page number, category number and name and entry title, matching what you entered or will enter on the Entry Registration Form. |
| 3. Each entry must have a SINGLE CD or DVD in a plastic sleeve attached to the back of the entry that includes a Word or pdf file with answers to judging criteria questions and a jpg or pdf file of your entire board (by taking a digital photo of the board) or a jpg or pdf file of each element on the board. For radio spots, please save as MP3 files. Video files should be saved as both quicktime and wmp files. |
| 4. Attach a copy of your Entry Registration Confirmation, which you will receive via email after registering your entries using the online entry form. If you have several entries registered on a single confirmation, please make copies of your confirmation and attach one to the back of each physical entry. To help us match your registered entry with your physical entry, circle the entry on the confirmation that relates to the physical entry to which it is attached. |
