The 2022 IPA Effectiveness Awards marks the introduction of four categories - single, regional or global market and not-for-profit.
The 2022 IPA Effectiveness Awards marks the introduction of four categories. All entries will need to sit within one of four categories:
Single Market: Defined as one country
Regional Market: Defined as multiple countries or a geographical region (eg. South East Asia)
Global Market: Defined as representing more than one region.
Not-for-profit: Client's business must be Government, Charity or other not-for-profit
Entries will be judged against existing Awards criteria and standards, rather than against other entries within the category. All prizes will be awarded based on the merit of the entry, regardless of category. The judges reserve the right to change the category, should they believe alternative is more appropriate. Entrants will be notified if this is the case.
The UK Market does not need to be featured to make a case eligible, the IPA Effectiveness Awards are a global initiative celebrating communications activity across the globe.
All entries are eligible for a Gold, Silver or Bronze award, and there are no categories that restrict entries. The Grand Prix is awarded to the Gold-winning paper that is considered the most outstanding by the judges.
Special prizes cannot be directly entered, instead are determined by judges from the pool of Award-Winning papers, based on entries demonstrating excellence in line with each prize. For example, all Gold, Silver and Bronze award-winning papers demonstrating behavioural change will be considered for the behavioural change special prize.
The judges award special prizes in the following areas:

Awarded to the entry which best demonstrates an innovative marketing approach that accelerates significant behavioural change.
Awarded to the paper which best proves and demonstrates brand-led effective social or environmental activity.
