If you’ve been working on innovative campaigns and projects online, benchmark your work against Europe’s most prestigious honour. Here’s how you can find the right category for your submission.

Step 1: Find Your Media Type

The Lovies accept work across seven media types. Select the one that best fits your work across Websites & Mobile Sites; Video & Film; Advertising, Media & PR; Podcasts; Apps, Immersive & Games; Social & Creators; and AI & Innovation.

Note that a project can be entered in multiple causes and categories across. We accept submissions in seven languages, including Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Italiano, Nederlands, and Svenska.

Step 2: Find Your Project Type

When selecting your category, think about your niche. Our categories are designed to recognise unique forms of digital media. Identify your project’s strengths and look at the category descriptions to find honours that best define your work. Under each media type, there is a slate of categories recognising everything from excellence in Craft (such as Best Art Direction and Best Partnership or Collaboration) to specific fields within digital (like Fashion & Beauty and Sports).
