The Mobius Awards for advertising has extended its 2010 competition deadline to October 31 with no late fees. Also this year, photography entries are invited in Original Commissioned Work, Personal Work, Conceptual Photography and Spec Advertising.
The independent, international competition accepts professional and student entries in Brochure/Book, Cinema/In-flight, Direct, Mixed Media / Integrated Campaign, New Media, Online, Outdoor, Package Design and Redesign, Photography, Point of Purchase, Print, Radio and Television. Spec work may also be entered.
Participants can enter through an online system powered by Beam.TV, and with the exception of Book/Brochure and Packaging, can complete the entry online. Book/Brochure and Packaging entrants will still need to submit materials directly to the Mobius Awards office. A special public judging of these mediums has been scheduled in December in El Segundo, California, a first for Mobius: "In addition to hearing from the professional judges, we want to let the public respond to these advertising forms, and an event seemed the way to do that," said Kristen Gluckman, competition executive director.
Mobius Awards attracts entries from more than 25 countries, and judges are recruited internationally. Standard awards include a First Place Mobius Statuette, a Second Place Certificate, a Spec Advertising Certificate and a Student Certificate. Special Awards are Photographer of the Year, Cinematographer of the Year, Kodak Cinematography award and Best Photography of Mobius.
Best of Show awards are selected from among first-place winners in the various mediums. New this year is a Best of Show-Student award.
Competition is open to consumer and business-to-business advertising created, produced, published, marketed, launched, screened or aired or reintroduced from October 1, 2009, through October 1, 2010.
