Awards Terms And Conditions

In partnership rule should say: Each vendor can benefit from entry association up to a maximum of ‘3 x in partnership with’ across the board. This does not mean per 3x per client, but 3x ACROSS the board.

For example:

Client1 in partnership with Vendor1

Client2 in partnership with Vendor2

Client3 in partnership with Vendor3

When it comes to announcing the winners names only the client in question will be called out, i.e  ABC in partnership with XYZ win then only ABC will be called out.

Remaining entries can be submitted under the vendor organisation’s name, or under the client organisation’s name.

Vendors, please note: Once you have allocated your ‘in partnership’ to a client entry, this is fixed and cannot be changed once submitted at any point, regardless of whether that entry makes it through to the finals.
