Step 3: Set Up a Lovie Account

Don’t lose your work! You will automatically be prompted to set up an account when you submit 4 or more entries. We highly recommend you save your entry to stay on top of your progress.

Setting up an account allows you to track your work and payment history, and upload or save any additional information, such as team credits.

 

Step 4: Define Your Company’s Role in the Work

You’ll notice that while entering, you’ll be prompted to submit “Your Role.” Why do we ask this? It is so we can credit you properly in our Winners Gallery if you win.

What are the distinctions between the Agency, Internal and PR roles when entering The Lovies?

Agency work is made on behalf of a client.

Internal work is used by the company or brand which created it.

PR firms submit work for the clients they represent.

 

Step 5: Finish and Submit Your Work by the Deadline

Once you’ve uploaded your projects and all supporting info, hit submit before our Early Entry Deadline on Friday, 26 April to secure your spot in the competition—and take advantage of early pricing!

Mary’s Top Tips for Entering

Our expert customer service rep, Mary Charles, is here to help with all of your entry-related queries and concerns. Here are her top tips on entry best practices—we asked so you didn’t have to.

  • Campaign Entries: When you submit campaign work, I recommend you submit a landing page that includes project details, a case study video, marketing results/stats, etc. along with a link(s) to the actual elements of the campaign. Also remember, our rules require a non-branded landing page.

 

  • Apps & Mobile: For subscription-based apps or sites, we recommend that you provide a guest login for our judges. It is helpful to provide our judges with the opportunity to fully experience the work and have them have the most seamless experience possible.

 

  • Monitor your submission: We recommend that you check the links you provided several times through the judging period. Links will often turn off or videos can get removed, so make sure the judges always have access to your work. Check back regularly to make sure they do.

 

  • I’m here to help: I’m always on hand to help as well. If you have any questions about entering, including eligibility and guidelines, category recommendations and more, please don’t hesitate to contact me at marycharles@lovieawards.com or on the phone at + 1 212 675 3555.
