Five steps to make LIA entries faster

The London International Awards (LIA) has added new features to make entries faster and simpler. Follow these five steps:

1. Register with the LIA online entry system.

2. Choose your medium, then your category and input your creative credits

  • Copy credits from one medium to another medium - The Copy Credits button allows you to create multiple entries with similar or like credits to avoid inputting information multiple times. Using this feature will create a new entry(ies), but will not copy over your uploaded media. Example: If the same creative team has worked on multiple pieces of work, this feature will allow you to input these credits once and then automatically copy them over to a new entry. You will then have the option to make changes to add or delete names, change brand, titles, client, etc.
  • Duplicate your entries exactly including credits and uploads - The Clone Entry button allows you to duplicate the entire entry into a different category within the same type of media. This will make an exact copy of your creative credits and uploads. Example: This feature will clone your work from Music & Sound to Production & Post-Production. However, you cannot use this feature to clone from TV/Cinema/Online Film to Print.

3. Finalise your order and submit your work for judging. LIA allows you to finalise prior to uploading media.

Five steps to make LIA entries faster

When an entry is cloned you only need to upload your media once. All uploads must be made within seven days of finalising.

4. All relevant credits must be input at time of entry. Any credits that need to be added after shortlist is announced will incur a $100 fee per entry. Please note: if your company is not listed in the creative credits, it cannot be calculated towards any of the 'Of The Year' Awards. LIA does not use the name of the entrant for this calculation.

5. Shortlists will be announced as each Jury completes its judging during 9-15 October 2016

Work submitted must be broadcast, published or released in a commercial environment with client approval between 1 July 2015 and 31 July 2016. All companies and/or individuals involved in the creative process are eligible to enter. For more information, click here.
