Before you pick a category or brief your team, there’s a simpler question to answer: does your work qualify?
The rules are fewer than most people expect, but they’re specific. Knowing them now is the difference between a calm, well-prepared entry and a scramble in the final week.
Eligibility: who can enter
Eventex Awards is a global competition, open to organizations of every size and from every country. If you create, deliver, host, or power events and experiences, there’s likely a place for your work. That includes:
Agencies and event organizers
from global networks to boutique studios
Brands
that own or commission events and experiences
Venues and destinations
including convention bureaus and tourism boards
Suppliers and event technology companies
Teams and individuals
including freelancers entering on their own behalf
A few ground rules apply to everyone:
The work must fall within the eligibility period. For Eventex Awards 2027, that’s September 1, 2025, to March 12, 2027. Events and experiences must have taken place, physically and/or digitally, within that window. Entries for a company, team, or individual should focus on achievements from the same period.
Entries are submitted in English. The work itself can come from anywhere, but the entry has to be written in English.
There’s no cap on entries. You can submit as many as you like, and the same project can be entered in more than one category, as long as each entry is tailored to that category.
Some categories also have their own requirements, so read the description of every category you’re considering. Rising Star Agency, for example, is open only to agencies founded in the last five years. Browse the full Eventex Awards categories list before you register.
Deadlines: key dates for Eventex Awards 2027
Entering happens in two steps: registering, then submitting your entry. They have separate deadlines, which means you can secure a lower rate now and finish the entry later.
Registration rates:
Super early-bird
untilNovember 27, 2026
Early-bird
untilJanuary 29, 2027
Regular
untilFebruary 26, 2027,
which is also the final registration deadline
After registration:
Submission deadline
March 5, 2027
Jury evaluation
March–April 2027
Winners announced
May 2027
A few practical tips:
1
Register as early as you can.
The rate drops the earlier you register, and you lose nothing by registering before your entry is ready.
2
Submit early, not just on time.
Entries in jury-evaluated categories submitted by the priority deadline receive personalized, detailed feedback from the Eventex team, so you have time to strengthen them before the final deadline.
3
Don’t leave it to the last day.
If an entry needs changes, you’ll want time to make them. Entries rejected at the last minute can’t be resubmitted.
Every entry is judged on its own merit against public criteria, and every entry is published in full once the winners are announced. Both shape what your entry needs.
It must be real and yours to enter.
Submit work delivered for a real client, audience, or organization, and make sure you have the right to enter it. More than one company can enter the same project, for example, the agency and a supplier.
Get approvals before you submit.
You’ll need sign-off from:
The entry owner or client
Your management
Every partner or company you credit in the entry
Every claim needs to hold up.
Results, figures, and descriptions must be accurate. A good rule: if you can’t back up a number, leave it out, and keep a record of the source behind each one you include.
Decide what can go public.
Apart from a dedicated confidential section, which only the jury sees, your entry becomes public after the winners announcement. Check with your client what you can share before you start writing, and save commercially sensitive details for the confidential section.
Prepare your materials in advance.
Expect to provide written answers built around three judging criteria, along with photos of the work and, optionally, a short video.
Treat submission as final.
Once an entry is approved, it can’t be edited, and after the submission deadline, entries can’t be changed or withdrawn. Review everything carefully before you click submit.
If your work falls within the eligibility period and you have the approvals in place, the only thing left is timing. The sooner you register, the lower your rate and the more time you have to build an entry that does your work justice.
Any organization or professional working in events and experience marketing, from anywhere in the world. That includes agencies, event organizers, brands, venues, destinations, suppliers, event technology companies, teams, and individuals.
Can freelancers and individuals enter Eventex Awards?
Yes. Freelancers can enter on their own behalf, and there are dedicated categories for individual achievements as well as for teams.
What is the eligibility period for Eventex Awards 2027?
September 1, 2025, to March 12, 2027. Events and experiences must have taken place, physically and/or digitally, within that period.
What is the deadline to enter Eventex Awards 2027?
The registration deadline is February 26, 2027, and the submission deadline is March 5, 2027. Lower rates apply if you register by November 27, 2026 (super early-bird) or January 29, 2027 (early-bird).
Can I register now and submit my entry later?
Yes. Registration and submission are separate steps, so you can lock in a lower rate now and submit your entry any time before the submission deadline.
Is there any benefit to submitting early?
Yes. Entries in jury-evaluated categories submitted by 5 February 2027 get personalized feedback from the Eventex team, with a month to act on it before the final deadline.
Can I enter the same project in more than one category?
Yes. There’s no limit on the number of entries, and the same project can be entered in several categories. Tailor each entry to the focus of its category rather than reusing the same text.
Do Eventex Awards entries have to be in English?
Yes. Projects can come from any country, but every entry must be submitted in English.
Will my entry be made public?
Yes, after the winners are announced. The only exception is the confidential section of the entry form, which only the jury sees. Use it for any commercially sensitive details.
