* Dates and timings are subject to change, please check directly with the awards organisers.

The Campaign Media Awards 2027 have a final entry deadline of 4 February 2027, but the first budget decision comes much sooner. The lowest published rate is £590 plus VAT per entry until 19 November 2026. If your campaign evidence is ready, plan approval and submission around that earlier date rather than the final cutoff.

Three Dates for Your Budget

  • 19 November 2026: first entry deadline, £590 plus VAT per entry.
  • 17 December 2026: second entry deadline, £769 plus VAT per entry.
  • 4 February 2027: final entry deadline, £869 plus VAT per entry.

The current entry portal confirms the first rate and lists its availability until 23:55 UTC on 19 November 2026. The homepage does not specify closing times for the later deadlines; confirm those with the organiser before relying on a last-day submission.

Match the Category to Your Evidence

The FAQ welcomes UK media owners, agencies and brands. Check the current entry kit for category-specific eligibility before committing your budget.

The 2027 portal offers categories including Best Social Strategy, Best Use of Insight, Content Strategy and Best Commerce Media Strategy. For Best Use of Insight, the criteria ask for originality, strategic thinking and effectiveness in driving business results. For Content Strategy, they emphasise work with lasting impact beyond a single campaign.

Choose the category where you can make the clearest case. Explain the audience or business problem, the insight behind your decisions, the media execution and the results. Connect performance figures to the client's objective rather than presenting reach or impressions without context. Secure client approval for the evidence before submission.

Use the Current Edition Information

The official FAQ still contains 2026 dates, prices and an older entry-portal link. Use the homepage's 2027 schedule and the 2027 entry portal, and ask the organiser to confirm current eligibility and submission-format requirements from the entry kit. Do not budget from the older FAQ prices.
