4. When are the finalists notified?

Finalists (Savvy, Silver Circle and Award of Excellence) will be notified by the first/second week of August, 2013. 3CMA does their best to notify finalists within 24 business hours of receiving judging results.

5. Can I enter the same project/program in several different categories?

Many of our entries are entered in multiple categories. You may enter a project/program in as many categories as are appropriate for each entry, and your entry will be judged separately for each category entered. Please note that the entry fee is due for each category entered.

6. Who should enter?

• All local government jurisdictions.  (City, County, Town, Village,
  etc.)


• Public relations firms, consultants and/or advertising agencies may submit
  entries on behalf of their local government clients. Such entries must be
  submitted under the client’s name and jurisdiction.


• Note: If your jurisdiction has someone who is a member of 3CMA, your
  entire jurisdiction is eligible for the Member Entry Rate.

7. Can I get judges' comments about my entry?

Currently, we do not release detailed commentary or individual judges scoring/comments for entries that are not Savvy, Silver Circle or Award of Excellence finalists. As the Savvy Awards is a large contest with many entries, there are simply too many entries to be able to do that for each submission. However, as we have received many requests for this information, we are working on a program to determine the best way to share our judge's feedback individually with each entrant.
