Sincere thanks to everyone who has entered the Fresh Awards to date (and we salute all of our early birds) but we have made the decision to push back the deadline to Thursday 23 April 2020.

Judging was set to take place during week commencing 30 March in both London and Leeds, but given the issues surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, we have decided to postpone our plans and we will review again in due course - and keep you posted.

This decision was made in consultation with our two great juries (Regional & London) and whilst we have considered judging online and remotely, nothing beats a good face to face debate. Ultimately, we may have no choice but to adopt this route, but we thought it sensible for now to delay. The good news is that anyone panicking about entering has much longer to get their work sorted.

Our fabulous trophies are all sorted and ready to go, so we are not cancelling Fresh, just delaying the programme whilst closely monitoring the ongoing situation. Details about the winners announcements, will be confirmed in due course.

All Best Wishes & Stay Safe

We’re keeping it simple, and going a little green here at Fresh, and will be asking for online entries only in a PDF format. If you have a physical entry that you want to submit to back up your online submission, then please include these details with your submission and we can provide details of where to send the work for the actual judging. We are unable to return any of these items, so please think carefully about physical work – although we do understand that some entries are best judged by touch and feel.

– For each entry, we require an email with your entry category and title of the work in the subject line.

– A PDF of the project should be attached to the email with a maximum of 5 pages, with images only. Please ensure the document size is 1920x1080 pixels.

– A separate, editable (with live text) A4 PDF with a project description of what the brief was, your approach and what the solution was should also be attached. This should not exceed 200 words.

– We only expect to receive PDFs and do not accept any other file types. If the project has a video, please submit a link at the end of the project description PDF.

– The category names can be found on the 'Rules' page, which is located in the footer menu. Please read through this carefully and ensure your project is suitable for the category you wish to enter it into.

– All attached PDFs should be titled as follows:

FRESHENTRY-CATEGORYNAME-PROJECTTITLE-CLIENT-AGENCYNAME

– The body of your email should read:

Fresh Entry | Category Name | Project Title | Client | Agency Name | Credits

– We will acknowledge all entries but please note that there may be a delay of up to a couple of days to respond.

– All entries need to be submitted at the very latest by 6pm on Thursday 23 April 2020 and should be emailed to:

– Announcements for this years winners will be held online via our website on Friday 8 May 2020.
