Is my work eligible for The Money Awards? To ensure that work judged at The Money Awards is reflective of the work that drives the industry forward, it’s important that we structure the Awards with eligibility dates. Eligibility dates are dependent on the category that is being entered – please see further down this page for full details for each category.

Can I re-enter work in 2027 if I enter this year? The same piece of work cannot be submitted into the same category in consecutive years. However, you may enter the work into an alternative category provided it meets the relevant entry requirements, including the eligibility period requirements.

We understand that some work spans several years. In these cases, you will need to demonstrate a significant evolution in order to be considered.

The Money Awards has the right to decide if the work has evolved sufficiently and can be deemed as a new, eligible entry.

We strongly recommend checking eligibility before you start to create your entry submissions. If you’re not sure whether your work is eligible for The Money Awards get in touch with our Awards team awards@money2020.com.
