The judges, drawn from agencies as well as clients, will be selected to give a professional and wide-ranging level of expertise.
Judges may move entries between categories if deemed to be unsuitable for the category entered.
No feedback or correspondence will be entered into about the results and the judges' decisions are final.
The judges will mark each entry against the template headings and the criteria specific to each category.
The judges will be divided into groups, each considering a selection of categories.
A maximum of five entries from each category will go through to the final stage of judging. Winners and commendations will then be decided from these five finalists.
All entrants will be notified by post as to whether they are a finalist in the third week of July 2008.
