The 2022 Adrian Awards judges examine the Statement of Communication and supporting materials provided with each entry. Again this year, many of the categories have been streamlined to allow for easier entry with fewer required fields.
To ensure impartiality on the part of all judges, agencies should refrain from using their company names within their text. When preparing your documentation keep in mind that you are limited to 2,000 characters per category text box. However, please be as descriptive and concise as possible. Spaces count as characters. Below are more details on the Statement of Communication for each area of the competition.
