Medallion Awards Best Practices

• Submitting a print entry? Because all entries are submitted digitally, it is required to also include a photo of the entry in use. See some best practices examples here.
• Submitting an entry with video? It is highly recommended that any entry submission that includes a video should include closed captioning. 
• Submitting a campaign entry? Please make sure you combine all elements in a concise summary. See some best practice examples here. 
• Make it a great photo in use. We scour these entries to spotlight winners on social media and email communications. One way that helps us decide which entries to use? A great photo in use. Bonus points if there's a person there, for scale, or an artfully arranged image.
