Any organisation can enter the Lens Awards providing the strategy or execution was developed, launched or carried out between April 2023 and October 2024. Projects undertaken outside the region will be accepted as long as the client/agency is based within the region, target audience is within the region or if the work was implemented across the region.

Entries are accepted from the following countries:

• A single organisation can enter multiple projects into multiple categories.
• Please fill in one form per different entry statement.
  Supporting links, videos etc must be included within the entry itself. This can be included as an appendix, with links or hyperlinked within the document itself.
• Each entry must be submitted as a PDF file. Files cannot be larger than 10MB.
• Entries are only accepted electronically, please do not send us a hard copy.
• All entries must be paid for prior to the judging day; any entries we have not received payment for will not be reviewed by the judging panel.
• If you have been invoiced in advance for your entries the same payment terms apply. You must pay the invoice by the due date shown (usually 14 days).
• Entries withdrawn will not be refunded.
• Entries invoiced in advance of submission will not be refunded if the pre-advised quantity is not fulfilled.
• Supporting links, videos etc. must be included within the entry itself. This can be included as an appendix, with links or hyperlinked within the document itself.
• All entry materials will be retained by Communicate magazine, the organiser of the Lens Awards. Please do not send us materials for which you do not have a duplicate, as we will not return entered materials.
• Ensure you have secured the appropriate rights and clearances for all materials and images submitted. The Lens Awards will not be liable for any copyright, trademark, patent infringement or for non-payment grievances held against entrants.
• All entries are only shared with judges once a signed disclaimer has been received and all materials are destroyed after the judging process.
• Where a juror’s organisation enters the Lens Awards, that juror will not review the submission. Where possible, jurors are not made aware of the identity of any third-party organisation that carried out the work until after decisions have been made, to eliminate bias.
• Details provided within your entry will potentially be used for press releases, web content, and the winners' book should your submission be shortlisted and/or win. Therefore, we ask that you ensure all the details are factually correct - we will not be liable for inaccuracies published based on the entry content and changes may not be possible after publication.
• By submitting your entry, you agree that the materials may be published for the promotion of the awards and media efforts related to digital communication, as well as for the marketing and promotion of rebranding case studies and teaching tools.
• All winning entries will be included in the Lens Awards winners book which will be given out on the night and published on the website.
