NEED ADVICE?

If you need further help or advice, please contact the team [email protected] or call +44 (0) 1706 828 855.

AM I SMALL OR LARGE CATEGORY ENTRANT?

Large and small is based on the number of overall employees in the agency/company who are submitting the entry, and not the number of employees in the team.





Small: Companies and agencies with up to 25 employees.





Large: Companies and agencies with 26+ employees. The award categories are separated in this way to ensure that the competition is fair and companies and agencies have an equal chance of succeeding.


HOW SHOULD BUDGET INFORMATION BE PROVIDED?

Judges prefer to see real numbers in relation to budget and results; however, percentage figures will be accepted. We understand that sharing full budget information may not always be feasible due to client confidentiality; however, we can share a confidentiality document if needed.



Please email [email protected] for this document.



If you cannot provide exact figures, you can use budget brackets, for example, ‘Up to 20K’ or ‘20K to 50K’ as an alternative. For judges, this approach is preferred to percentage submissions as it helps make a more accurate assessment.

Winning Best Event Agency is a proud milestone for First Event. Awards provide an opportunity to step back from the pace of delivery, reflect on the work and recognise the contribution of the people behind it. They also give the team an external benchmark for the creativity, strategic thinking and operational expertise it brings to clients’ events.

Being shortlisted across three categories is a brilliant reflection of the standard our team holds itself to every single day. This isn’t recognition for one campaign or one person. It’s recognition for the way the whole agency works together across search, so I couldn’t be prouder of the team.
