Good-fit signals
The idea depended on creator voice, social behavior, or community participation.
The platform choice affected the creative idea and not only the media plan.
The evidence includes engagement quality, creator impact, or community response.
Planning notes
Capture creator contracts, permissions, platform analytics, and comment-level evidence.
Explain what the brand did not control, because authentic participation is often the point.

The competition is open to agencies and brands working across the Turkish and Northern Cypriot markets, with category coverage spanning digital, data and media, social responsibility and sustainability, PR, events and experiences, music, film, strategy, and design.
