Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Have to be Based in the United States in Order to Enter? Organizations based outside of the U.S. are welcome to apply. We regularly receive entries from Australia, Austria, the Benelux, Bermuda, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Turkey, the U.K., and Vietnam.

When Must I Have Created My Report?
It must be for the most recent fiscal year.

How Should I Submit My Entry? Entries can be submitted in both hard- and soft-copy formats. The preferred soft-copy format is PDF. Contact us if you need to use another entry medium. Cover letters are welcome but not required. Only one annual report needs to be provided for judging.

Can I Upload My Entire Entry? Yes! We can allot up to 2 gigabytes of online storage for receiving your reports, cover letters & other materials. Send everything to us at http://www.lacp.com/upload

How Does Judging Occur? Award results are based on the judging of submissions within peer-level competition classes. They are determined according to company size, annual revenue, and other pertinent factors. Scoring is derived according to LACPï¿½s proprietary judging system, which grades various criteria of an entry. A composite score is then determined. Your Results Kit will provide full details on the judging methodology as well as feedback on your report.

Should I Include a Cover Letter? While not mandatory, it does help judges better understand an entryï¿½s goals, target audience, messaging, development, and success metrics.

How Do Competition Classes Work? All entrants are required to enter the General Competitionï¿½this is where the heart of judging takes place, primarily among organizations of similar size and means. If you believe your entry stands out in any of the other achievement categories (e.g. Most Creative, Most Improved), you can enter those separate competitions and contend against all other entrants solely on that categoryï¿½s single criterion. ï¿½Special Achievementï¿½ categories include regional awards, as well.

Are Late Entries Accepted? Yes, through 20 October 2024. We may be able to make special arrangements for exceptional circumstancesï¿½ contact us at www.lacp.com/contactus

Do I Have to be an LACP Member to Enter? No.
