Green Pencil submissions

For the first time this year, The One Show will accept submissions for the coveted Green Pencil, recognising excellence in environmentally-conscious advertising and design. In past years, the award was based on nominations.

This marks the second year The One Show will have a standalone discipline for Health, Wellness & Pharmaceutical, judged by a dedicated jury of healthcare advertising professionals for brands and agencies to recognise the best work in the field from around the world.

It’s also the second year for the One Show Mobile-First Video Advertising category, sponsored by Facebook. The category was established for video that is specifically created for use on mobile devices.
