Is there anything new about entering The One Show this year? Things look a little different.

• We have changed a few things around so you are able to enter multiple entries faster and with ease. We hope you find it helpful.
  
• You are now required to upload hi-res image files for all of your entries. Uploading these images will help us keep track of your entries and ensure that they are judged properly, in the correct category. Review the Digital Specifications page for acceptable image formats, uploading instructions, etc.

What is the deadline for entries?

Can I edit/add credits after I’ve closed my entries and paid?
Yes! Here's how: After you've logged in, under the "Account Access" column on the home page click "Closed Entries." There you'll find a list of all your entries.

How much does it cost to enter? Is there a registration fee?
There is no registration fee to enter any of our shows. However there is an entry fee for each of your entries. Select the "Categories" tab at the top of the page to view entry fees for each show.

Am I eligible for the One Show Design reduced fee for freelance designers?
The freelance fee is for One Show Design only. You may only enter work under the reduced freelance fee if the work was produced in-full by a single individual that is not a part of a larger professional design or advertising entity. Please note that work entered under the reduced fee is subject to increased scrutiny through the verification process. The One Club reserves the right to disqualify work from individuals that is falsely entered under the reduced freelancer fee. Verification may come in the form of an explicit letter from the client stating the work was completed in-full by a single freelancer.

Freelance Fee: Single - $150 / Series - $200



Is my entry eligible to be entered into a show?
It might be. Click here to see if your entry meets One Show guidelines.

Are there any new requirements for entries this year?
To take a harsher stance against fake ads, the One Club has enacted a few new rules. Click here to see these rules. Please remember that not complying with the procedures will result in your entries being disqualified from the competition.

How does the One Club define a fake entry?
The One Club defines “fake ads” as: ads created for nonexistent clients, ads made to run without a client’s approval, and ads created expressly for award shows that are run once to meet the requirements of a tear sheet.

What are the penalties of entering a fake ad?

1. An agency or regional office of an agency network that enters an ad made for nonexistent clients, or made and run without a client’s approval, will be banned from entering the One Show for 5 years.
   
   
2. The entire team credited on the “fake” entries will be banned from entering the One Show for 5 years.
   
   
3. An agency or regional office of an agency network that enters an ad that has run once, on late night TV, or has only run because the agency produced a single ad and paid to run it themselves, will be banned from entering The One Show for 3 years.

How can I pay for my entries?
We accept payments by all major credit cards, check, or you can pay by wire transfer. Please contact accounting@oneclub.org with any questions.

Who should the check be made out to?
Please make sure all checks are made payable to THE ONE CLUB.

Do you accept payment in foreign currency?
No -- all payments must be made in US dollars.

Why should I pay for my entries online?
It’s the quickest way to get your entries ready to be processed.

Why won't my credit card go through?
You may have incorrectly entered your credit card number or expiration date. Please double-check these to make sure you have them in the right format. If you have trouble with your card, you may either mail in your order using the Offline Credit Card Payment form or contact us via email: accounting@oneclub.org or call 212.979.1900.

How will I know if my entry payment went through?
Once your entry is approved, you will be taken to a "Thank you" page that includes a receipt for your submitted entries. An email confirmation will also be sent to the primary contact's email address. You may print this receipt for your records. If you don't see the "Thank you" page, please DO NOT press "submit" a second time -- you may be charged twice for your entry. If you get an error message or have a problem with your entry, please contact us via email: accounting@oneclub.org or call 212.979.1900 and we will manually process your payment for you.

Can I cancel my entries if I already paid online?
No, you will not be able to cancel your entries online once you’ve paid and closed them out. For any refund inquiries contact our accounting department at the One Club via email: accounting@oneclub.org or call 212.979.1900.



Why is my file name in gray and not allowing me to select it?
The uploader only accepts files in two formats: Quicktime MOVs (encoded with H.264 codec) and MP3s. If your file is in another format, you must convert it in order to upload.

Why do I keep getting "file too large" errors?
The maximum file size that the uploader will accept is 200MB. Anything larger will need to be re-encoded following the instructions listed on the Digital Specifications page.

I am selecting my files and see them appearing in my queue but the progress bar stays on 0%. Why is this?
Check with your IT department to see if they are blocking either FTP or HTTP uploads. Also check this page to see if the Simple Uploader works or to get information about FTP uploads.
