Roundtables

It shouldn’t be. There is no magical formula for a winning entry, but there are easy guidelines to follow to ensure award entries have the best opportunity.

At this roundtable Mumbrella’s Head of Marketing, Danika Porter, will outline five crucial steps to ensure you create killer entries. She’ll outline the most important elements of entries, how to structure your time appropriately, what judges generally want to see when they are looking at award entries and what not to do. Danika plays a crucial role in marketing Mumbrella’s awards series, is a juror for the Production Company of the Year categories at the Mumbrella Awards, and has entered numerous awards successfully herself.
