What are the Awards?
Collaboration of the Year Award

Spotlighting the potential of collaboration in achieving remarkable digital outcomes, the Collaboration of the Year award will be awarded to all named collaborators.
Work must be executed by two or more partners and can be entered into any and all categories, including but not limited to ‘Best Collaboration or Partnership’ categories across media types.
Brand of the Year Award
The Lovie Awards will also recognise a brand that is pushing the boundaries of digital creativity. The Brand of the Year Award is an inaugural honour for brands creating innovative work across our categories as the inaugural Brand of the Year.
The collaboration will be determined by Collaboration of the Year will be determined via a point system established by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS). Points are awarded based on the number of Gold, Silver and Bronze Winners and Shortlisted work submitted by an organisation as well as the projects that the organisation is credited for (e.g. the work is submitted by a partner or client but the collaborating organisations are listed in the individual credits).
