Balticbest, a marketing and advertising competition for small European countries, is now open for entries! The 7th edition of Balticbest is unlike the previous ones – Balticbest 2020 takes place ONLINE in the format of a LIVE SHOW.
The aim of the Balticbest marketing and advertising competition is to recognize outstanding creativity. Entries will be judged by an international jury, who will take into account the originality and quality of the creative ideas.
What are the conditions for entering the competition?
Entries submitted for the competition must be approved by the advertiser. All the submitted works must be used, published or broadcasted between 1 July 2019 and 31 July 2020. Ineligible works will be disqualified.
Why should you participate?
All shortlisted works will be reviewed by the jury during the live broadcast, which takes place online. It means that unlike in most creative festivals, the entrants will get feedback from the jury. Jury will also vote live and the winners will be announced instantly – right at the end of each category voting.
All Balticbest 2020 gold medals and Grand Prix will be sent free of charge by the festival organizer Best Marketing to the international creativity festival EPICA.
In addition, Baltic Agency Ranking 2020 will be announced within the framework of the competition. Baltic Agency Ranking takes into account the prizes that have been won in local, regional and global competitions, including Balticbest prizes.
How much does it cost to participate?
The cost of submitting one entry per category is 125€ (VAT will be added where applicable). There are 21 different categories in the competition and the same entry can be submitted in several different categories.
NB! Since all Gold and Grand Prix winning entries will be submitted to EPICA festival free of charge, the winners will be able to enter two festivals for the price of one!
Who can participate?
The competition is open to advertising and marketing agencies, their clients, media agencies, filmmakers, photographers, design studios and individuals from small European countries with a population of under 5 million people.
The reason is simple – we have to compare what is comparable. Small countries face similar challenges: limited budgets, small teams, and high price sensitivity. We are convinced that, despite the limited resources, there are BIG ideas in small countries:
• Albania
