3. A duly authorised senior officer (CFO, CEO or Chairperson) from the Entrant has given permission for the work to be entered.
4. There is no reference to your Company or any Contributing Companies in any materials (except in the case of self-promotion or if the reference existed in the original execution).
5. The entry can be understood in English and all supporting digital content is subtitled in English.

If you’re unable to meet all the requirements on this list, your entry may be ineligible for The Money Awards. Failure to meet all requirements could see your entry being disqualified or withdrawn without a refund.

Is my work eligible for The Money Awards? To ensure that work judged at The Money Awards is reflective of the work that drives the industry forward, it’s important that we structure the Awards with eligibility dates. Eligibility dates are dependent on the Award that is being entered – please see further down this page for full details for each Award.

The key eligibility dates are: Work submitted must have been launched or released to its relevant audience for the first time during the period starting on January 01 2024 and ending on June 30 2025 Other elements of the Entry may have occurred prior to the Eligibility Period (eg Market Research, or Beta testing) but the final release must have occurred during this Eligibility Period.

Can I re-enter work in 2026 if I enter this year? The same piece of work cannot be submitted into the same Award in consecutive years. However, you may enter the work into an alternative Award provided it meets the relevant entry requirements, including the eligibility period requirements.

We understand that some work spans several years. In these cases, you will need to demonstrate a significant evolution in order to be considered.

The Money Awards has the right to decide if the work has evolved sufficiently and can be deemed as a new, eligible entry.

We strongly recommend checking eligibility before you start to create your entry submissions. If you’re not sure whether your work is eligible for The Money Awards get in touch with our Awards team awards@money2020.com.
