How To Enter OnlineThis year's Entries will be completed using this website. Entering spots will follow the same process as previous years with the exception of the entry forms being completed online. To enter your spots for the 2011 Bessies simply follow the steps below. If you have any difficulties or questions about entering this year's Bessies please check the Frequently Asked Questions or email bessies@adbeast.com. Step 1 - Register Before entering your spots you must register on the site. Registering is as simple as completing an online form which includes your contact information and a password of your choice. Once you register we will send you a confirmation email with your registration details. By registering, the website will be able to track your progress and allow you to complete one or more entries without re-entering your information each time. You will also be able to see what spots you have submitted, a running total of your entry fees as well as being able to save your work In Progress and complete it at your discretion. Step 2 - Create Entries Once registered, you will have the ability to enter spots for this year's show. Once logged in, simply click the "Enter Single Spot" or "Enter Campaign" button. Complete the form that loads with as much detail as possible as this information will be used in the Winner's book should the entry win an award. When submitting your video spots online, click the (file icon) next to the associated In Progress entry. You may upload a "muxed" MPEG - 2 file (1 file with both audio and video) or a separate video (.m2v) and audio (.aiff) files. Until you submit your entry you may change your uploaded files at any time. You can complete as many entries as you like. When each entry is complete, submit it by simply clicking "Submit".
