2. ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the 2015 competition, entries must have been published or aired, with the knowledge and approval
of the advertiser, between January 1, 2014 and April 21, 2015. For our competition year 2015 we pushed back our 2015
awards ceremony by three weeks to May 21, and therefore extended our deadline to enter dates as well as our eligibility dates
accordingly. All winners must be able to show proof of media buys if requested. Entries submitted in the previous year will not be
accepted and refunds will NOT be made.
IMPORTANT: New York Festivals has long been aware of so-called “scam ads”—ads that were either never published or were
published without the full knowledge and consent of the client. Our SCAMGUARD system, the oldest and strongest policy in the
industry, encourages jury members to anonymously flag suspicious ads, and include comments in support of their suspicions.
Every flagged entry will be investigated; should the evidence prove the ad to be a scam, the ad will be disqualified, and the
people listed in the credits of the entering company will be barred from entering our competitions for a period of five years.
2A. “OTHER” Category: The “Other” category is provided to the entrant for any entries that cannot be placed in any of the
existing categories. Upon review the New York Festivals will enter the entry into the most appropriate category.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. DISPOSITION OF ENTRY
Entries and materials submitted will not be returned and may be displayed, shown, duplicated, published or reproduced for
educational or promotional purposes as International Awards Group, LLC deems appropriate. By entering, the entrant agrees to
hold International Awards Group, LLC and any of its affiliated companies exempt from any costs or expenses of any claim arising
out of any such use.

New York Festivals will announce the 2015 winners of the World’s Best Advertising® at the Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P.
Rose Hall, Broadway at 60th Street, New York City, on Thursday May 21, 2015.

5. UNITED NATIONS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INFORMATION (UNDPI) AWARD
In 1990 New York Festivals established the UNDPI Awards in collaboration with the United Nations Department of Public
Information to honor public service advertising that best exemplifies the aims and ideals of the United Nations, including peace
and security; advancement of women’s rights; social development; health issues, including HIV/AIDS, human rights, crime and
violence; literacy; sustainable development; and poverty.
All Public Service entries achieving Shortlist status are automatically eligible for consideration for this prestigious award at no
additional cost to the entrant. All entries are judged by a blue ribbon panel jury convened by the United Nations.

Follow these steps to prepare your entry submissions for upload via FTP:
• Create a folder on your desktop and name it with your NYF Invoice Number. Do not copy this folder onto the FTP.
• Name each individual piece with your NYF Item ID Number followed by a dash and the piece number (no spaces), and copy
each entry submission piece into the folder. Please use only your Item ID Number and piece number to name your files—do not
use any letters; use those numbers ONLY. This is the only way our system will recognize your pieces and match them to your entry.
Example:
123456-1.mov
123456-2.jpg
123456-3.pdf
NOT ACCEPTABLE:
AgencyName123456-1.mov
EntryTitle123456-2.jpg
AnythingOtherThanTheItemIDNumber123456-3.pdf
• Once you have created this folder and copied all pieces into it, log in to our FTP server using an FTP program (not a web
browser). Log-in credentials will be provided in the email you will automatically receive after you check out.
• Copy each file from the folder to the FTP (remember: do not copy the folder itself). If you are uploading more than one file,
the system will list them in a queue. You may enter additional submissions at another time.
The FTP program will estimate how long it will take to upload your file and display a progress bar. Upload time varies based on
its size, your internet connection, and web traffic.
Note: Our file transfer system is secure. Once uploaded, no one — including you — will be able to view your submissions.
Because of this privacy protection, some FTP programs will display an error message when connecting. You may see “Failed to
retrieve directory listing” or “Directory listing failed.” Please ignore these messages. They are only an indication that the privacy
settings are working. If you wish to view your entry, please allow 72 hours after transfer and use the Upload Links found at the
bottom of your invoice.
C. Offline Entries
We only accept online entry forms and recommend uploading all creative material directly to the server, but you may also submit
your creative material through the post office. Please follow the below guidelines carefully. Every piece you submit via post must
include the Item ID number found on your invoice. This is the only way we can match your work to your entry. You will find Item
ID numbers for each piece of your entry at the bottom of the invoice automatically emailed to you after checkout. You may either
clip the numbers from the invoice and attach, or write them directly on the entering piece.
