Celebrating strategic brilliance and effective impact, The Warc Awards for Effectiveness 2024, in association with Cannes Lions, are now open for entries.
The Warc is a data and analytics company that helps the world businesses in the digital economy. The company is an ally of the Unstereotype Alliance.
Following their guidelines, the jury will be looking for evidence of how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been considered.
Entries are submitted once for a chance to participate regionally and globally.
Entrants to compete in one of five regional awards: Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East & Africa, and North America.
Each regional competition will be thoroughly judged by a panel of senior industry executives using the consistent, global frameworks of the Creative Effectiveness and B2B Effectiveness Ladders to award gold, silver and bronze accolades.
The gold winners will automatically progress to compete at a global level where a ‘super-jury’ made up of all the regional jury chairs will award the coveted Grands Prix, the ultimate recognition for marketing success.
