Benefits of early entry

Introduced four years ago, The One Show early entry system benefits all parties involved in the process, including creative teams who submit entries, agency management responsible for awards budgeting, and judges who review the work in batches as it comes in.

 

“By submitting work when it’s fresh and top-of-mind, creative teams can more easily access materials while they are readily available and capitalize in real time on the work’s industry buzz,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity.  “Agency management also gains a budgeting advantage by spreading awards spending over a 12-month period across two calendar years.

 

“From a judging perspective, the work is reviewed when it’s fresh and still topical, and jury members can give it greater attention because they’re reviewing smaller batches of entries,” he added.
