Over the past two decades, the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals’ judges has earned a reputation for accuracy, fairness, and credibility. A look at the list of MarCom winners is a who’s who of the industry. It is also the competition where professional organizations that run their own competitions enter their work.

To ensure timeliness, fairness, and consistency, most of the judging is done in the AMCP judging room in Dallas, Texas, and Washington, D.C. Judges are senior-level, experienced professionals residing in the Dallas-Fort Worth and D.C. areas. They are freelancers or own their own businesses. They are selected based on experience and availability. It takes two months of full-time work to judge the thousands of entries. Judges can change during the process, but at least one of the two judging coordinators is there at every session.

Entries are judged at random and not compared directly to other entries in their categories. There is no preset number of winners in a category. There are no lengthy essays to persuade the judges; so all work is evaluated solely on its own quality, creativity, and resourcefulness. Judges base their decisions on learned perceptions of creative excellence rather than an entrant’s imaginative explanation of an entry’s value.

Since there is a tremendous variance of resources from entrant-to-entrant, and piece-to-piece, perceived budget is taken into consideration in the judging. Based on their work experiences, judges expect each entry. A student-produced ad is not held to the same expectation as a piece produced by a Madison Avenue agency for a Fortune 500 company.

Matson Money paid $390 per campaign entry and $250 per standard entry

The Telly Award Company of The Year is awarded to the company who has enjoyed the greatest success across the competition as a whole (both through entries reviewed by The Telly Award Judging Council and the People’s Telly Award). In order to recognize the award level of each winning piece of work and the relative merits in winning each, a sliding scale of points is awarded to Gold (16), Silver (4) and Bronze (1). The Telly Award Company of the Year is derived from the total number of points achieved across all wins.

All judges are top advertising and production professionals. Most importantly, all of our judges are members of the Silver Telly Council with an interest in upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents.

Matson Money paid $740 total to be considered in the categories of sound design, use of 3D animation, corporate image, education and training.

Muse Creative Awards. Retrieved 10 April 2024 from

https://museaward.com/advertising-awards.php

Matson Money paid $220 for event category, $220 for integrated marketing and $175 for social media reel entries.

MUSE Creative Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs low. Rather than increasing the fee for each entry, fees are only charged in order to cover administrative costs like printing, mailing and data organization. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will actually pay less than if fees were on a sliding scale. Multiple entries must be submitted at the same time as your first entry in order to be counted as “additional category”. An entry submitted at a later time will be counted as a “first entry”. Work submitted must have been created within the last 2 years. Retrieved from

The Viddy Awards is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.

Since 1995, AMCP judges have earned a reputation for accuracy, fairness, and credibility. Judges are senior-level, experienced professionals who are compensated for their time and expertise. By having a small group of paid judges dedicating their services to a specific competition, AMCP produces more consistent results in a shorter period-of-time.

AMCP supports the creative community by keeping its entry fees low and by recognizing the efforts of entrants who give back to their communities. AMCP does not charge them fees to enter pro bono work and regularly donates to charities and organizations on their behalf.

Matson Money paid $110 per entry to be considered.
