Frequently Asked Questions


What are the European Excellence Awards?
The European Excellence Awards are created to honour the most outstanding achievements of communications professionals in their field. The awards also provide an excellent networking forum for all attendees and take a comprehensive look at communications achievements across Europe.

Who is the host?
The awards are hosted by Communication Director, the Magazine for Corporate Communications and Public Relations in Europe. Communication Director is also a co-host of the European Communication Summit, the largest European gathering of communications professionals. Communication Director features news, opinion, studies, and introduces new European communications professionals.

How much is the entry fee?
The application fee applies per project and per category entered.
Your first application will cost 240 Euro plus VAT, and each additional application submitted will cost 190 Euro plus VAT. Please note that the above prices only apply to applications submitted online. If you prefer to apply by post or email, an extra charge of 20 Euro per entry will apply.

Who can apply?
The awards are open to public relations, communications, brand building, and reputation management professionals from companies, consultancies, associations and NGOs, whose work has displayed exceptional talent and ability in 2010.

Can universities or institutions apply for the European Excellence Awards?
Yes, we encourage entries from universities and institutions, and would advise you to apply for any categories that you feel showcase your innovative approach to communications.

I work for an agency and want to nominate a campaign we worked on for a client. How would that work?
Both the client and the agency can submit campaigns to the competition. All communication, such as the announcement of shortlists and winners, will mention both the client and the agency.

How many categories may I apply for?
Projects can be entered in more than one category, and it is possible to apply in as many categories as you are interested in. Please be aware that nominations for the “Accomplishment” category (categories 2-3) have different application forms to those for categories 4-58.

Can I submit a campaign in more than one category?
Yes, that is not a problem. You can submit an entry into as many appropriate categories as you like, and you can (although you do not have to) tailor your supporting documents for each category, even if the campaign being entered is the same. However, you will have to fill in a separate application form for each entry into each category, and you will be charged per application form.

What do you mean by 2000 ‘characters’?
By characters, we mean all letters, spaces and punctuation marks. The easiest way to count these is to use the word count function in Microsoft Word, if you have access to it. As all texts are uploaded onto the jury intranet, and space is limited, texts will automatically be cut off after 2000 characters.

Projects started before September 30, 2010 will be considered for awards if they had their main roll-out and impact after this date. Projects completed before this date will not be considered.
