Calling all design studios, branding and ad agencies, design teams, and brand owners! The submission deadline for this year’s edition of the Brand Impact Awards has been moved to June 4 at 11:59pm BST, as reported by the Creative Bloq.
There are 27 categories, including photography, motion, entertainment, fashion, illustration, education, and technology, and more.
Entries are expected to meet the following criteria:
- Have a strong, compelling concept appropriate for the client
- Beautiful and consistent execution across two or more brand touchpoints
- Branding that stands out from its competitors within its market sector
As far as judging goes, entries will be accessed by an expert panel of industry professionals from companies like Uncommon, COLLINS, Mother Design, and Superunion. There are also branding experts that have done client-side work for TikTok, Spotify, and LEGO.
Entries are judged on their originality, how well they serve their original brief and consistency – specifically consistent quality of idea and execution across two or more brand touchpoints.
The shortlist of winners will be published on September 9. Every project on that list will be assigned one of three tiers, based on its quality: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. However, only Gold and Silver winners will receive a trophy.
