Enter the BCC

Prepare Your Pitch

Pitch your entry to the group LIVE at the conference! You’ll have one minute to give the attendees an elevator pitch of your project. Any videos entered as part of your pitch will be played for up to 60 seconds. Each pitch, with content played, will be limited to three minutes max.

We won’t tell you what to say, but we would love to know:

  • What were you trying to accomplish?
  • How and why did you execute your communications the way you did?
  • Why are you proud of this work?

Vote and Celebrate!

Everyone in attendance at the conference will vote for their favorite in a real-time, online ballot.

On Thursday evening, all conference attendees are invited to the BCC Awards Ceremony where the votes will be tallied and the winners revealed. We’ll make a toast to the winners and celebrate everyone’s accomplishments!
