The Communications Council today announced that eligibility dates for campaigns submitted for the Effie Awards 2020 have been extended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Campaigns that have run in Australia between 1 April 2018 to 31 May 2020 are now eligible for entry, an extension of two months from the original 31 March cut-off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The longer eligibility period for the Effies 2020 has been introduced as a result of the rescheduling of the awards this year due to the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The extension will not impact the eligibility period for next year\u2019s Effies, with campaigns running between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2021 permitted to enter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As previously announced, the Call For Entries deadline has been extended by several weeks, with on-time entries now closing on Thursday 11 June and the final deadline (incurring an additional entry fee) moved to Thursday 25 June.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Effie Awards Dinner and Presentation will now take place on Friday 30 October, dependent on the current restrictions on public gatherings being rolled back by that time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Finalists will be announced on Wednesday 12 August.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
