General Questions

How do I enter?

Click here to create an account. Once you create a username and password, you will be able to begin the submission process for one or multiple campaigns across as many categories as your campaign(s) qualify. You may save and return to your work at anytime during the competition period. The 2024 REGGIE Awards will open on September 25, 2023.

Once you've completed your entry, you will be prompted to finalize and pay your entry fee(s). You must make payment before the appropriate deadline based on when you enter – Early Brid, Standard or Final. If payment for an entry is not submitted by the related deadline, it will not qualify to be included in the subsequent judging rounds and will be removed from the competition.

Who can enter a campaign?

Anyone involved in Brand Activation including but not limited to client side marketers, any type of marketing, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, media companies and service providers, etc. All ANA members as well as non-members are eligible to enter the REGGIE Awards.

What campaigns are eligible?

Brand activation marketing efforts that ran in any market around the globe and achieved positive results between January 1 -  December 31, 2023. It is absolutely fine for campaigns that started before 2023 and/or continue into 2024 to be entered – with the understanding that you are focusing on the marketplace environment and campaign achievements realized in 2023.   

NOTE: For work being entered into the Holiday or Seasonal Category, you may include results/impact achieved in January 2024 for efforts that launched in late 2023.

Can I submit more than one campaign?

Yes, you can enter as many campaigns in as many categories as you wish. Often, campaigns will involve multiple marketing techniques that could fit into more than one category that are worthy of individual recognition.

For example, a Small Budget Campaign may have been for a New Product introduction and been Age Specific targeted. That would qualify for 3 categories. If you choose to enter the same campaign in multiple categories, you will be asked to explain how it specifically fits into each of those categories. Entering your campaign into more than one category will increase your chances of winning, but it is important to clearly explain why it is appropriate for each category to improve your chances with the judges.

Additionally, you may re-enter winning or previously submitted work should it meet the time frame eligibility period.

Is there a sample entry form that I can review and fill out offline?

A sample entry form is available either as an editable Word(.docx) or a PDF.

How do I submit multiple campaigns? Can I submit the same campaign into more than one category?

The application system will allow you to submit more than one entry. You have two options to choose from that will allow you to accomplish this.

  1. If you are submitting a new campaign, you will want to begin a new entry from scratch. You can do so by clicking on the "START ENTRY" selection on the upper menu. This will create a blank application, and you can enter information that is completely new.
     
  2. If you are submitting the same campaign into another category(s) entries are very similar, go to the completed application and select "Copy Application".

    *Alternatively, you will have the option to check a box to submit a completed entry to another category at the bottom of the form. Once the box is checked, select "Add to Cart" and you will be directed to a new page where you can choose the additional category(s). 

Note: Only submissions that are fully completed can be duplicated. Once you have added your submission to your shopping cart, it will appear as complete under your "My Applications" link on the left side of your screen. You will then see an option to "Copy Application" into another category. This will add the copied submission into your incomplete list and allow you to edit it by clicking on the "Edit" link under "Action". Remember to select the new category and update any questions that are category specific.

Can I view my submission before finalizing?

You can view your in-progress application by clicking on the "My Applications" link on the left of your account and click "Edit" to make updates.

How often can I edit my entry?

You have access to edit and update your entry as often as you would like until you "Checkout" (finalize and pay for any entries in your shopping cart). To edit your entry, login to your account and you will see all the entries you have in your account. Click on "Edit" on any of the entries listed to make changes to your submission.

Once you have submitted your entry via the "checkout" process, you will have access to the read-only file. All entries must be finalized, submitted and paid for according to the fee corresponding to the current entry deadline period at the time of your "checkout".

Please note: if you start an entry in the system and then finalize and checkout two months later, you will be charged the entry fee that is valid at the time of your checkout.

All entries not finalized before the final deadline will not be judged.

Can I print my REGGIE entry?

Yes. In order to print your entry while you are still working on it, please press the 'Ctrl' key and the 'P' key. This will print the page you are on. Please click through each page of your application and press 'Ctrl + P' to print each part.

Once your entry is marked as "Complete", you will be able to print your entire REGGIE entry at once. In order to complete your entry, you must "Checkout" and pay for your entry. Then you will be able to print using the "Print" link.

Can I submit a link/URL of a website or microsite that was used in the campaign?

Yes, you can enter a link in the URL field in entry case study. However, please be sure the link is live and will be live until July 1, 2024 (once the winners have been announced and viewed). Some judges, prefer viewing all the materials in the case study and not linking to a separate window, so we recommend taking screen grabs of the site and putting them in a PDF and uploading the PDF to your case study, if possible.

What is the total word count allowable for the case study?

Each case study question has a maximum word count as specified on the entry form. A sample entry form is available an editable Word Document (.docx) or a PDF. For your conveience, this year we have added a separate sources cited field so you can maximize your word count to tell your story when answering the questions.

Can teammates have access to edit or add details to my entry?

Yes! At the top of each submission form, the primary applicant will have the option to add and manage collaborators, allowing multiple team members to have access to edit an application. In order to be added as a collaborator, your teammate(s) must also have a REGGIE Awards profile. To login or create a new profile, click here.

Note: only one person can have editing rights at any given time and only the primary collaborator will have the ability to submit the application.

Can I review a case study from previous years?

For previous years, ANA Members can login and search through all the past years here.

Results Questions

What if my campaign results are not in before the regular deadline?

Enter as many results as you can at that point in time (i.e., selling results) and indicate that your final results were not available before your submission. There must be some results included in order to qualify.

What if my results are confidential?

The REGGIE Awards are judged on results. Your entry should have indices or some other relative measure at a minimum to show the judges results, or handled in such a way to not create any confidentiality issues for you.

What should you do if your client does not want to share results?

Consider including additional program goals that may have been unspoken secondary goals, or even sub-goals. Make sure that the results that you are able to share connect to your program goals in some capacity, for examples:

  • Translate your objectives into indexes and include the sales lift index in results
  • If display or selling from display was important, describe sell through, e.g. restocked display after 2 weeks, etc.
  • Use non-sales metrics that can show clear value, for example:
    • Coupon redemption not just the coupon quantity
    • Impressions converted into a PR dollar value indicates unpaid media value generated

Who are the judges?

REGGIE Award judges are Director/VP level or above professionals and selected from all areas of Brand Activation and Marketing. The candidates are screened by the ANA and are assigned to judge entries from categories in which they have expertise. Judges are not allowed to participate in the evaluation of campaigns or categories in which they had any involvement.

The first round of judging is divided among approximately 200+ judges. Each judge will see a minimum of 10 entries and each entry will be judged by 8+ judges. A percentage of highest rated entries in each category will move on to Round Two where they will again be rated by a panel of judges. The top three ranked entries in each category will be designated as Gold, Silver or Bronze REGGIE Award winners. The highest scoring Gold winners in each category will go on to compete against each other and one will win the SUPER REGGIE Award.

The SUPER REGGIE Award is judged by a separate Blue-Ribbon Panel, comprised of industry leaders, visionaries and pioneers in Brand Activation. The SUPER REGGIE winner is selected from the GOLD REGGIE winners from each category as the best of the best.

When will I know if my campaign is among the finalists?

The finalists will be announced and contacted by the ANA mid-March 2024. The ANA will notify the specified contact that your campaign is among the winners, but you will not know your ranking (Gold, Silver or Bronze). The rankings will be announced on at the REGGIE Awards Gala Celebration on April 16, 2024.
