One entry form must be completed for each entry submission.

All submissions must be A4, paper-based and a maximum of two sides; no cover sheets or appendices may be attached.

Anonymise your entry (if entering categories 1-14). Do not include any entrant information or brand colours in your submission that will easily identify your agency/company (client and brand details are permitted); failure to follow this instruction will result in disqualification.

Write your entry specifically for the category entered
Any submission entered into more than one category which has not been tailored to the relevant criteria but merely duplicated, will be disqualified.

Entries must be typed or typeset, with minimum 10pt font size and sufficient margin to accommodate a hole-punch.

Black and white or colour entries are admissible.
Entries are photocopied, so DO NOT use tinted boxes or reversed-out type that may be difficult to reproduce. Should your entry be considered illegible by judges you risk disqualification.

Entrants should supply a selection of supporting visuals and materials relevant to each submission.
These should fit into an A4 box file. Materials for each entry must be clearly labelled and submitted in a separate folder. If you are entering the Writing Excellence or Excellence in Digital Communications categories, please supply six sets of all supporting materials.

Entries must be accompanied by payment at the time of submission.
Companies may enter work into more than one category, provided that each entry has been written specifically to address the relevant criteria. Each entry must also be accompanied by a separate entry form and set of supporting materials. One payment covering all entries is acceptable.

Eligibility
All entries must conform to and adhere to the letter and spirit of the PMCPA Code of Practice. Other common requirements of entries are that they should:

• Address the needs of the audience, provide value to and build trust with the stakeholder group

• Deliver balanced, independent and compelling programmes, that enable stakeholders to improve clinical practice, raise standards of patient care, enhance patient safety, improve access to treatment, or overcome other current treatment barriers

• Enhance reputation through trust and transparency

• Fit the eligibility period as specified in each category. Sales data from Q1/11 is admissible, providing it is clearly stated in your submission

• Include a chronology and evidence of further development if your entry has been entered in previous Communiqué Awards

• Ensure your campaign or programme is Code compliant. We reserve the right to disqualify an entry or rescind an Award should a breach of the Code be confirmed by PMCPA at any time

• Provide references wherever required from clients and stakeholders.
