Entry Requirements

Deadline for the Creativity 40 Print Competition is extended to August 27, 2010.
Entry Fees are $75 per single entry, $95 per campaign entry. Students receive a $50 discount on all entry fees.
Ad agencies, publishers, developers, graphic designers, photographers, freelance designers, illustrators, programmers, marketers, producers, directors, web designers and corporate art departments may submit entries that first appeared in print between June 1, 2009 and May 31, 2010 (void where prohibited). Student work must have been created during the 2009-2010 school year. Instructors and professors may submit work on behalf of a student. Student work will be evaluated seperately from professional work. Anyone involved with the creation of the advertisement or design work may submit the entry.
For Broadcast/Media/Interactive entries we can accept many of the standard formats, including all those created by QuickTime, Windows Media, Real Audio, and Macromedia. File extensions include: .mov, .wav, .wmv, .wma, .avi, .asf, .mid, .aif, .mpg, .mp2, .mp3, .mpe, .m4A, .swf. All judging will be done online so all entries under 10MB each should be uploaded. Uploaded campaigns may be in separate files if over 10MB. Please attempt to compress entries as much as possible without loss of quality so they may be uploaded. Entries over 10MB should be submitted via CD/DVD. Campaigns submitted on CD/DVD should be edited together in one file with three seconds of black between each campaign piece. Computer-based formats such as Quicktime and Flash should have a maximum screen size of 1024 (h) x 768 (v). Radio commercials should be submitted as .wav or .aiff files on CD. Campaigns should be submitted as one file with at least three seconds of silence between each spot.
For Internet/Interactive Media please submit url addresses. Judging will be done online using the url whenever possible so please ensure the link is active and does not require any username or passwords for access. If usernames/passwords are unavoidable, please include in the "url" line of the entry form. Dead or unusable links will disqualify the entry.
For Print & Packaging entries we can accept a digital version of the work. Digitally submitted entries must be high-resolution (350 dpi) .PDF, .TIF, .JPEG or .EPS file with all fonts embedded. This will ensure a quality reproduction in the 400-page, full color Creativity Awards Annual Book should the entry win. RGB format is preferred, but CMYK will be accepted. Please note that for judging purposes, uploaded entries will be output in color at 8 “ x 11” size. A PDF document is less likely to corrupt during processing, and since it is considerably smaller than the original native file, you will find the upload time to be shorter. Do not send raw files.

Feel free to submit the sample copy for judging. All physical samples being submitted to judging MUST be accompanied by a digital high-resolution (350 dpi) .PDF, .TIF, .JPEG or .EPS file with all fonts embedded.

The entrant agrees to hold Creativity International Awards and any of its affiliated companies exempt from costs or expenses of any claim arising from any such use.
