There’s just one week to go to enter this year’s Prolific North Marketing Awards, so we’ve created a handy round-up of everything you need to craft your submissions.
Our longest running awards event recognises marketing excellence across the North, celebrating stand-out campaigns, top teams, talented individuals and remarkable agencies.
By entering, you’ll be joining a prestigious group of winning alumni, such as Sheffield-based digital agency Evoluted.
“The Prolific North Marketing Awards are one of the staples in our calendar when it comes to seeking industry recognition for our best work,” said Dan Rawley, marketing manager at Evoluted.
“There’s no doubt that it helps to attract new clients, gives existing clients extra faith in our abilities and is brilliant for recruitment.”
Entries close on 4th August.

Judges
We have an industry-leading judging panel, with experts from the likes of Channel 4, Quorn Foods, SALT, Formula 1 and Bruntwood Sci-Tech
Our carefully selected judges will take part in a two-step, fair and independent judging process to compile the shortlist, and ultimately decide the winners.
Gareth Turner, former head of marketing at Weetabix and founder of Leeds-based marketing consultancy Big Black Door, recently said he’s looking for clarity: “Have clear objectives, ideally commercial ones, and show how your activity performed against them!”
Deadlines and key dates
After entries close on 4th August, the judges will come together and once judging is complete, we will release the shortlist on 31st August 2023. The live awards ceremony will take place on 12th October at Emirates Old Trafford Football Stadium, where we will reveal the winners.
