Five steps. No surprises.
How to Enter
Entering the MAA is straightforward. Here’s exactly what to expect, from choosing your category to receiving your results. The Entry Kit has everything you need to prepare.
The entrants who do best start with the Entry Kit, not the registration form. Read it first. Shortlist your work. Then commit.
Choose
Browse the categories. Read the evaluation criteria and identify where your initiative fits best. You can enter more than one category, provided each entry is prepared against that category’s specific criteria.
This is the most important step. Don’t rush it.
Your shortlist is worth more than a long list.Register
Once you know which initiative you’re entering and which category it belongs in, you’re ready to register. Not before.
The entry portal is open. Select your category, confirm your details, and you’re in. Your case study comes later.
Prepare
Build your case study using the Winning Entry Blueprint in the Entry Kit. Judges evaluate strategy (50 points), execution (25 points), and results (25 points).
You’ll also complete a short Code, Culture & Commerce section – this isn’t scored, but offers judges further insights and contributes to the exclusive industry report all entrants receive.
Pay & Submit
Payment confirms your entry. Upload your completed case study and supporting collateral by the deadline of 11 July 2026.
You can make changes to your entry right up until final submission.
