ENTERING LIA - BEST PRACTICES
Choosing Categories
When choosing categories and sub-categories, be sure to read the competition description. Keep in mind that different juries view work through different lenses and consider different factors when judging. When submitting the same case film across multiple categories, consider tailoring your Written Description to the category you are entering.

Campaign or Single
When you have a campaign with multiple executions, you can choose to submit the work as a campaign, as a single or both. When entering individual executions as a single entry, this entry is being judged based on its own merit.

The juries tend to judge a campaign on its weakest element, instead of the strongest. If a campaign consists of four elements, and three are very strong, there is a good chance that it will not score as high as the entrant had hoped because of what the jury perceives as a weak link. If some elements are much stronger than others, entrants should consider entering them individually as singles rather than as one whole unit.
Creative Credits
When inputting your creative credits, be sure to include all companies (with cities where applicable). The creative credits that you input at the time of entry are what is used to calculate totals for ‘Of The Year’ awards.
