Eligibility
Smarties X Global Awards Program – Campaigns submitted should be active in the marketplace between January 2021 through December 2022.
Your work must have made an impact during the eligibility period and the results you provide must be within this time frame. Elements of the work may have been introduced earlier and may have continued after, but your case must be based on data relative to the qualifying time. Judges will evaluate success achieved during the eligibility time period.
Re-Entering Past Winning Work
If your work continued running in this year’s eligibility period and you have results from this eligibility period, you may re-enter the past winning work. Or, if your work won in a country/regional program and it fits the eligibility period of January 2021 through December 2022, you may enter that program in the SMARTIES X Global Program.
Additional Eligibility Requirements
- The competition is open to marketers, agencies, and solution/technology providers including, but not limited to, those involved in advertising, media, PR, design and the creative industries.
- It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that the client has the rights to use the intellectual property of the brand advertised/promoted.

- Only one party may enter an entry, i.e. either the agency, solution/tech provider, or client may enter a piece that all parties have worked on, but not both.
- The SMARTIES staff may contact the agency/client/solution provider related to any entry at the request of the jury at any time during the voting process should any questions about the implementation or presentation of the work arise.
