Introduced three 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,” he added. “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.”
The One Show 2019 finalists list will be announced in April in lead up the The One Show awards ceremonies on May 8 and 10, 2019 during Creative Week (http://www.oneclub.org/creativeweek/) in New York.
The complete early entry period shortlist is available for download here. Final deadline to enter The One Show 2019 is January 31, 2019.
