Advertising Yearbook 2013: New awards

To mark the 50th anniversary of the yearbook, the Megaphon has grown: In future, the coveted award will be presented in gold, silver and bronze. Entrants can submit their work in the following categories: Print, Out of Home, Film, Audio, Direct Marketing, Promotion and Digital Media as well as Integrated Campaign. Communication ideas that were used or are still being used in Germany, Austria or Switzerland in 2012 are eligible. You can register online at www.jdw.de.

Early bird promotion: Registration for the competition is free of charge. Costs are only incurred for works actually included in the yearbook by the jury (shortlist). Participants who submit their entries by September 14, 2012 have the opportunity to secure a 10 percent discount with the early bird promotion, which will be granted upon inclusion in the yearbook. The Agency of the Year will be chosen from among the participating agencies. This award is the result of adding up the points awarded within the competition for the awards. In addition to the Megaphone award winners, the best in the industry are selected in an industry comparison (shortlist). The Megaphone is included in the creative rankings of W&V and Horizont, among others. The winners will be honored at the award ceremony on February 1, 2013 in Berlin. The 50th volume of the yearbook - with all the winning works portrayed in detail as well as the industry comparison - will be published in spring 2013.

The deadline for all submissions is October 19, 2012.
