More creatives will have a bigger chance than ever to showcase their work as our new Motion and Photography categories expand our existing Craft awards in Copywriting, Illustration and Typography. This broadened scope is reflected in a striking new identity for the awards, comprising amorphous shapes which represent the blending of disciplines essential for today’s branding endeavours.
Entering the awards doesn’t just promise success or industry recognition, but also extensive PR across our network to an extensive audience of digital and print creatives with the guarantee of bespoke marketing collateral.
Who should enter the Brand Impact Awards?
Entries are welcome from design studios, consultancies, branding agencies, ad agencies, in-house design teams and brand owners, and work can be branding programmes and branded campaigns commissioned nationally or internationally.
The list of previous category winners is a who’s who of creative talent, and previous years have included Turner Duckworth, Wolff Olins, NB Studio, Johnson Banks and more.
It doesn’t matter if the work comes from a massive agency or a small studio, just as long as it catches the eyes of the judges, and you enter by May 27 on the BIA website.
How are the BIAs judged?
Entries are judged on their originality, how well they serve their original brief and consistency – specifically consistent quality of idea and execution across two or more brand touchpoints.
They are also judged in context of their market sector – product design is not lumped in with sports, just as self-branding is judged exclusively from fashion.
And lastly, campaigns that extend or enhance existing brands are accepted, unlike with many other award schemes.
To find out more about this year’s Brand Impact Awards, plus all the categories, how to enter, and to see last year’s winners, head over to the Brand Impact Awards 2021 website. This year’s winner will be announced online on September 9, with applications closing May 27 2021.
