And winning a Lovie shows the region that yours is the team to work with—so you can attract the best talent and keep creating award-winning work. (See here how past Winners continue to use their Lovie Awards year-round to earn new business.)

3. Deliver Your 7 Words of Lovie

All Lovie Winners have the opportunity to deliver a signature 7 Words of Lovie acceptance speech. This is a fantastic chance to use your 7 words to make a bold, memorable or memorably hilarious statement. Check out speeches from our first-ever virtual Lovie celebration in 2020, Lovies X Everywhere.

4. Define the European Internet

The Lovie Awards is the standard of excellence for the European Internet. By participating, you and your team help define that standard, raise the bar for the industry as a whole and foster the healthy spirit of competition that has led Europe to be at the forefront of the Internet’s greatest moments.

5. Gain Exposure

Winning a Lovie sets you and your work apart and lets you shine in front of your clients, colleagues and peers. With over 275 million media impressions from outlets like The Guardian, Emerce, W&V, Adformatie, De Telegraaf, RTVE, Expressen, Dagens Media, Metro UK, Horizont, The Economist, WIRED UK and El Pais, the publicity and recognition The Lovie Awards generates for its winners spreads awareness of your great work throughout the world.
