The Times has launched the third annual Creative Press Ad Challenge, which for the first year will include a digital component. Running between 21 April and 21 May, a total of 21 free ads valued at R97,000 each will be given away.

The Times Creative Press Ad Challenge gives creative minds the opportunity to execute tactical, fast turnaround ads for their clients with the chance of winning a free full-page, full-colour placement in The Times newspaper. In addition for the first time this year the campaign incorporates a banner ad on TimesLive.

The Times launches the third annual Press Ad Challenge

With a creative theme linked to the Loeries, "How many times does it take to win a Loerie?", the campaign will run across 21 editions and give agencies 21 chances to secure placement and take home a Loerie.

This year the stakes are even higher, with the inclusion of the online banner ads, which means that agencies awarded placement will now be entered into both the Press and Digital Ad categories for the 2015 Loerie Awards.

How to enter

    1. Agencies choose any news story for the duration of the Challenge.
    2. Agencies conceive a rapid-response ad for their client in both a print and digital format.
    3. The client approves the completed ad, and the agency submits the print ready material to The Times before 11am on the day prior to placement.
    4. Agencies send their ad entries to The Times via az.oc.aidemsemit@sasoom
    5. The Times editor, Stephen Haw, chooses the best ad from that day's submissions.

    6. The winning ad runs in The Times and on TimesLive the following day.

The Times, with a readership of over 290,000 is a powerful platform for brands to bring their creative ideas to life. All submissions, as well as terms and conditions, can be viewed on www.timescreativeads.co.za/.
