Channel Awards deadline EXTENDED to Friday 7 July

There is still time to complete your entry to the biggest awards night in the channel

In the spirit of giving everyone a fair chance and because we are going through a particularly challenging year, the Channel Awards deadline has been extended to this Friday 7 July.

This may be a change of direction for the Channel Awards which has operated a strict ‘no extension' policy in the past, but after three years of constant challenges thrown up by the pandemic and also the cost-of-living crisis, many people are juggling more things than normal this year, and we have had an overwhelming number of companies ask for an extension.

How can we possibly refuse?

In this #bekind era, we hope this announcement is taken in the spirit it is intended - to give everyone who needs it a little extra time to submit their entry - after all these awards are FOR the channel and it is our job to listen.

We also realised that compared to previous years, our original deadline was in fact a little early, so adding on an extra week will level out the playing field.

To everyone who has already submitted their entry - we thank you for your hard work, and hope you will understand the reasoning - we want the competition for awards to be as strong as possible! But you now have extra time to tweak your entries if you so wish.

There are plenty of categories to enter, make sure you take a look at our detailed criteria which will outline all the qualities our judges are looking for in an entry.

We hope this gives everyone who has started their entries the time they need to get them completed, and we wish you all the very best of luck.
