Why enter
Seen where clients look
Winners are featured on the Wadline homepage, across the category listings and in the awards archive — pages that stay online and keep ranking long after the ceremony.
A badge that verifies itself
Every winner gets a Wadline Awards badge for their own site, proposals and profile. It links back to the project page, so a prospect can check the claim in one click.
Judged against your peers
Projects compete inside their own nomination and region, so a boutique studio is measured against comparable work rather than against the biggest budget in the catalogue.
Covered in the magazine
Winning projects are written up in the Wadline magazine — reach you would otherwise have to buy.
How to enter
Three steps, and the first one is something you should be doing anyway.
Publish the project
Add the work to your company portfolio: cover image, the problem, what you built and what it changed for the client. Anything published before the deadline counts.
Choose the nomination
The project's category is the nomination it competes in. There is no separate entry form and nothing to pay — publishing the project is the entry.
Lock in your place
Verified companies and companies on a paid plan go straight to the jury. Everyone else passes through moderation first, so publish early and leave time for it.
