How to Participate
Steps
- Before submitting a multimedia project or production, we strongly recommended that you read the Judging Criteria to understand what the judges are specifically looking for and the criteria they will use when judging your submission, as well as the Terms & Conditions of submission, where you will find the rules for participation in the MEDEA Awards. Read also the important Copyright information page.
- Register for the competition by creating an account. After activation of your account (which will be done via e-mail), you will find in the "How to participate" submenu a "Submit entry" button. Clicking on that button allows you to immediately start submitting your entry.
- Fill in the online form by answering all questions in as detailed and comprehensive a manner as possible. Providing good information will help the jury understand the value of your entry and will increase your chances of winning. The submission form can be completed in English, French or German. You can save your submission form for later and it will then appear under the My entries tab at the top of each page. You can then come back to your submission later and continue filling in the form before you finally submit it.
- Finalise your submission by checking the "finalise" option before saving. Note: after checking the "finalise" option, you will no longer be able to change the submission of that item. You can of course continue with the submission of other items.
- Print the finalised form, sign it and send it before 30th September 2009, 12 PM (midnight) via mail, fax or post. In case of any relevant offline media (if your entry is available on, for example a CD-rom or a DVD...), send 3 copies to the MEDEA Secretariat (MEDEA Secretariat, Leuvensesteenweg 132, B-3370 Boutersem, Belgium).
- After finalising your submissions, you can monitor their status in My entries in the "status" column. There you can check if the MEDEA Secretariat has received your submission and if there are any problems with the submission process. When the entry has been accepted by the MEDEA Secretariat, the status will change to "approved" to formally indicate that the submission is accepted as an entry for the MEDEA Awards 2009.
- The MEDEA Secretariat will of course also keep contact with you through email. If you have any questions about this process, please use this contact form.
Good luck!
