Questions people ask
- Who can enter?
- Anyone. Agencies, brands, consultants, creators, individuals and nonprofits of any size. You don’t need to be a Social Media Club member, and past entrants are welcome back.
- How much does it cost?
- $100 per entry. Members get their first entry free each year. Every entry is paid for separately, so email hashieawards@socialmediaclub.org if you’re entering a lot of work.
- What work is eligible this year?
- Work that ran between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Spec work isn’t eligible unless a category allows it.
- Can I enter the same work twice?
- Yes, in different categories. Submit a separate entry for each one.
- How are entries judged?
- A global panel of volunteer senior marketers scores goals, strategy and execution, results and an overall score. They judge the work, not the size of your business or your following.
