Love ads? Got a winning ad?

We're excited to announce the launch of Ad of the Year, an award hosted by YouTube in partnership with Campaign. Check out the YouTube channel, youtube.com/iloveads, where agencies and advertisers can upload your best and most creative ads of the last 18 months. All video ads that ran online or on television are eligible to enter and the aim is to find the most creative and entertaining ads. The ad that captures the imagination of the nation!




How it works
An expert panel will review submissions and shortlist 28 ads, which will be put forward for the public vote. The winner will be announced and celebrated at the Campaign Media Awards on 17 November and receive a homepage takeover on YouTube, worth £75,000 and approximately 11 million views. Entry is free, all entrants need to do is upload the ad. No forms, no formalities!

Timelines
Deadline for entries: 23 September 2010
Shortlist chosen by expert panel: 1 October-14 October 2010
Public vote: 15 October – 3 November 2010

Future Plans
After the awards, we plan to make the iloveads channel a hub for great ads on YouTube.
