Mediatel Media Research Awards: entry window open and judges revealed

The window for submissions is now open for the Mediatel Media Research Awards 2022.

The qualifying period for the awards has also been extended to ensure that it can include research that was delivered to the client between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2021. This is to ensure the awards cover work done throughout the pandemic period and beyond.

Entries must be received by Friday 22 October. A late entry window runs until Friday 29 October with an increased entry price.

After a hiatus last year, the coveted awards are returning for 2022 with renewed energy and fresh initiatives including:

• a new line up of judges drawing expertise from across the industry
• brand new categories including ‘Pulse of the nation’
• an extension of the eligible period to cover the last two years

Full details of how to enter along with information on all the categories are on the website.
