The call for entries for the sixth BrandEx Awards opened on 1 June 2023. Interested parties can submit their projects starting immediately. The event will be held during the BOE INTERNATIONAL trade show for experiential marketing in Dortmund. Outstanding achievements of the creative industry will once again be honoured in various clusters.
Entries for the BrandEx Awards 2024 are now being accepted. The competition documents and forms can be downloaded from the website at www.brand-ex.org. The deadline for submitting entries is 31 August 2023. Participants can submit their projects in English as well as in German. For the first time, the assessment of the entries will be conducted in three phases, using a scoring system (points) to determine the entry rankings. The Olympic principle will not be applied.
The competition and awards
In phase 1, the participants are required to submit only a one-page document describing their concept and up to 3 images. Based on these documents, the jury will decide which entries will be accepted for the next phase. Additional documents must be submitted in the second phase. Details of the requirements for these documents will be shared with the participants in advance. Subsequently, the international jury will decide which projects are to be honoured with awards. In the last phase, the best entries will be judged live during the event, and the projects selected for the gold, silver and bronze awards. Moreover, two further awards will be presented for the best project and the best entrant.
