Guidelines

The Davey Awards is exclusively for smaller agencies, companies, or organizations with annual billings or revenues below certain levels. See guidelines below. By entering, you certify that your entries meet all of the eligibility guidelines. The Davey Awards reserves the right to disqualify any work discovered to be ineligible with no refund of fees paid.

If you have questions regarding eligibility, please email us at customerservice@daveyawards.com or call (212) 675-4890.

Individual projects are to be evaluated of their own merit, with no additional explanation or context. Work must be available as a single element in one of the following formats: a URL, a digital file, or a physical item. See more on acceptable formats below.

Note for work in a “redesign” category: you must frame the work in a single format. You cannot submit separate URLs or files, but you may create a single landing page or document to visualize the “before” and “after” of the redesign.

For campaigns or series across all entry types, your work must be available as 2-6 elements, which can be submitted as discrete URLs, combined into a single digital file, or as a set of physical items. See more on acceptable formats below. As with individual creative projects, the work is to be evaluated of its own merit, with no additional explanation or context.

Across all media and work types, elements must be accessible by the Jurors, meeting the following criteria:

• URLs must be open to the public OR have the username & password provided during the entry process
• Digital files must be under 300mb and in .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .flv, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .pdf, .doc, .docx, or .mp3 format
• Physical items must be mailed to our awards processing center at the address listed below. Note that we recommend submitting work as URLs or digital files unless the physical nature of the creative piece is a key component of your project.

Regardless of how many creative elements are being reviewed, we can only accept one type of format. When submitting multiple elements for campaigns, series, or marketing effectiveness, you must combine all elements to be represented in a series of URLs (limit of 5), or a single digital file, or a single package to be mailed.
