Eligibility: Work must have been produced by creative firms and in-house creative departments in the Greater Seattle area or created for companies headquartered in the Greater Seattle area. The work must have been published, posted or aired for the first time between February 1, 2007 and September 30, 2008. Work previously submitted to the Seattle Show is not eligible. Incomplete entries may be disqualified.

The Seattle Show’s purpose is to recognize and reward creative excellence in the legitimate, everyday workplace of the design, interactive, and advertising fields.

This means the Show only wishes to honor real work done for real clients with real marketing objectives. On occasion, work is entered that exists outside those boundaries, created solely for the purpose of winning an award, rather than satisfying a legitimate client’s needs. These types of entries are not permitted in the Seattle Show (except in the specific case of projects entered in special categories for unpublished work), and may be disqualified at the discretion of the judges if they feel the work does not appear to be legitimate.
