3 Tips for Submitting Entries to the WINA Festival
Please remember that you have until April 26 to upload and submit your entries to the 2025 WINA Festival. As part of this special anniversary edition, independent agencies will have the opportunity to upload up to 5 cases free of registration fees, as only winners pay for the award rights under this festival format. Trophy production and shipping fees will amount to USD $530 for each trophy received.
Please have the following in mind when it comes to your submissions:
- Entries in this category include spots published between March 11th, 2024, and April 22th, 2025.
- If the participant has material completed, but not published, as of April 22th, but that will be published before May 1st, 2025, it may be submitted upon approval by the client.
- If you want to submit additional entries, beyond the five free entries, you may do so, but will have to pay USD $150 per entry.
Learn More about the ‘Effectiveness’ Category
When it comes to clients, ‘Effectiveness’ is the preferred category. ‘Effectiveness’ emphasizes the basic, and sometimes forgotten, purpose of advertising: to generate results at points of sale and/or within people’s consciences. So, this category is results-based.
However, when it comes to the WINA Festival, judges for the Effectiveness category will consider societal impact, respect for the human condition, and the ability of ideas to surprise audiences.
Here are the subcategories within the Effectiveness category:
E1- Products. Products, campaigns, or actions that generate effective and measurable results, impact, visibility, or free press.
E2 – Services. Services campaigns or actions that generate effective and measurable results, impact, visibility, or free press.
E3 – Social Good. Campaigns or actions of public good that generate effective and measurable results, visibility, or publicity.
E4 – Environmental. Environmental campaigns or actions that generate effective and measurable results, impact, visibility, or free press.
E5 – Retail, Commerce, E-Commerce. Campaigns or actions in retail and e-commerce that generate effective and measurable results, impacts, visibility, or free press.
E6 – Summons. Campaigns that call for a cause, concert, event or activity, where the number of attendees and impact achieved with the communication can be measured.
E7 – Launch of products and services.
E8 – Brand Activation.
E9 – Small Budget. Spots with budgets below USD $5,000.
