Guidelines for submissions
Take a look at the guidelines for submissions for the full list of categories available for the B2B Marketing Martech Awards 2020.
In the following pages you can find a detailed description of each category, providing more info on what is needed to recognise and reward. There is also all the details you will need to know about the Awards process itself.
The Categories
You can enter into any of the 21 award categories, in 3 different category sections:
- Vendors
- Industry and people (agency and client-side)
- Martech deployment.
If you’re entering multiple categories…
Make sure you tailor your entries to the category you’re entering. Judges hate to see entries that look as though they’ve been written for something else. It comes off as lazy or as if you’re playing a numbers game.

The judging process
Judging is conducted through a series of live, face-to-face judging sessions with attendees comprised of senior marketers with an interested in and experience of martech – mostly clientside or in-house marketers.The panels are refreshed each year, to maintain the integrity and vitality of the judging process.
The judging process is entirely independent from the management of the awards to ensure the highest standards of objectivity and integrity are maintained. An independent chairman – marketing consultant Shane Redding – oversees the judging process, approves the judges and validates.
