The person submitting this entry form(s) certifies that he or she has full authority to approve the rights granted contained in these Terms & Conditions. The 4A's holds no responsibility if an entrant falsely represents the authority to approve rights.

In order for an entry to be judged and considered for an award, entrant must agree to Terms & Conditions. Later refutation of the Terms & Conditions is not allowed and any award will be forfeited.

All submissions become the property of the 4A's. Entrants grant permission to the 4A’s to show entries in supplementary presentations, and as often as the 4A's deems necessary. Entrants also agree to hold the 4A's harmless of any claim that may be made against it for any reason in any presentation.

It is understood by entrants that the 4A's plans to publish the award-winning briefs either online or in print, including creative. By agreeing to the Terms & Conditions, the agency agrees on behalf of itself and its client that the 4A's can publish an edited (edited to conform to 4A's style) version of the complete entry and accompanying creative submissions.

It is understood by entrants that the 4A's may charge a fee for use of these materials and can reproduce video and slide materials as needed. If a telecast of selected award winners is arranged with a network or local station, the entrant agency agrees to absorb such talent or other residual charges that may be incurred by inclusion of one or more of its award winners in such a program, provided that these charges are not waived by the individuals, firms, or unions involved. Before any such telecast, winners will be advised that their spots are to be included as part of said program, and given the opportunity to withdraw from the program.
