Review the below eligibility dates, rules, and restrictions for the 2022 Pendoring Awards to ensure that your work meets our requirements for entry.

1. Entries must be commercially published, launched or aired for the first time between 21 August 2021 and 1 October 2022. 

2. In the case of campaigns that straddle the eligibility period, e.g. if two pieces of a campaign were published prior to 21 August 2021 and three pieces after that, then the full campaign (all five pieces) is eligible for entry this year. If you have previously entered two of the pieces into last year’s awards,  you can enter all three pieces into the integrated campaign this year. 

3. Student work created from 21 August 2021 and up to 1 October 2022 may be entered.
