3. The deadline for submissions is 23:59 (PT) on Thursday 31 August 2023.

4. Each award will have a prize for the winner and the runner-up if the judges deem the entries to be of high enough calibre. The judges may choose not to award in any category, or may also choose to move the category that your submission is entered into if they deem it a better fit for a different category. 

5. All awards can be entered by teams or individuals.

6. All submissions must relate to work done within 18 months prior to the submission deadline.

14. If any awards category is deemed to have insufficient entries, ContentEd reserves the right to remove that award from our list. If that is the case, submission fees for that award category will be refunded.

15. The winners in each category will be announced at the ContentEd Awards in Manchester on Monday 16 October 2023.
