Submit Your Entry
You may enter one project into each category — so make sure it’s your best project.
Categories:
- Internal communications
- Paid campaign
- Owned, earned or shared campaign
- Creative assets or collateral (booklet, annual report, website, photo, etc.)
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?
Share, Vote and Celebrate!
On Thursday evening, all conference attendees are invited to attend the BCC Live! event where you will pitch your work! Everyone in attendance will vote for their favorite in a real-time, online ballot. After all the votes are tallied, we’ll make a toast to the winners and celebrate everyone’s accomplishments!
