Info | Terms & Definitions / Pendoring 2022

For the purposes of The Pendoring Awards, below is a list of frequently used terms along with their definitions.

General Terms

CATEGORY / SUBCATEGORY
Divisions within a discipline, grouped by media type and other common characteristics. Multiple Subcategories may be listed within a Category.
Pendoring is divided into nine categories (Film, Design, Digital, etc).
NOTE: The term "Category" often includes the "Subcategory" information.

SINGLE CATEGORY
The majority of categories are Single Category. Work can only be entered in one Single Category. In addition to a Single Category category, the same work can be re-entered in Craft Categories, and categories that allow for Multiple Category such as Integrated Campaign. Please read all rules specific to each category you intend to enter work into.

The exact same creative execution cannot be entered into more than one Single Category. The principle behind this is that Pendoring will only award the same creative idea once.
Example: Creative work entered in the Print Magazine category, cannot be re-entered in the Design Poster category if it is essentially the same entry.

INDIVIDUAL ELEMENT
Elements must be submitted individually.

Example: 3 x Posters in a campaign cannot be submitted as one entry, but must be entered as 3 x individual entries.

If in the opinion of the jury, several pieces constitute a campaign, then these entries will be combined into one campaign award.

MULTIMEDIA
A minimum of three different media types are required from within the same main category.
Example: Design – Logo, Package Design, General Design
MULTIPLE CATEGORY
Creative work that has been entered into other categories may be re-entered here.
Example 1: A Tactical Use of Newspaper entry can be re-entered into Media Innovation.
Example 2: A Mobile Media entry can be re-entered into Digital Crafts.
MULTI-ELEMENT
Two or more elements of the same media type can be entered.
Example: A Branded Content Video Campaign comprising three episodes in a series.
INTEGRATED MULTIMEDIA
Work entered in Single Category categories can be re-entered here to form a campaign, with a minimum of three different media types.

Example: Design, Audio and Film.
