2012_Capleslogo_Final.jpgCaples has announced the 2013 call for entries for the 36th annual Caples Awards, hosted by Direct Marketing News, to be held on November 14 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC. The entry deadline is Friday, September 6 at 11:59pm New York time.

Agency leaders who want to have their work judged by top creatives in the industry, must download the Caples entry kit.

The Caples Awards is an international awards program dedicated to honoring the best and most original interactive, digital, integrated, and direct marketing creative from around the world.

The Caples Awards has over 25 categories to choose from including new categories such as Digital Content and Courageous Client.

The 2013 jury includes nearly 50 senior-level creative directors from countries as diverse as New Zealand, Germany, Australia, Spain, the United States, England, Austria, Canada, and more.

Once all the entries are in, Caples’ panel of top international judges will descend upon NYC for two intense days of closed-door discussion, deliberation, and lively debate as they share their unique perspectives on the work.

Following the judging period, all are invited to join Caples for the big reveal on November 14, where attendees get to sip cocktails–and drink in the world’s most creative work gallery-style–while the winners are announced.

This year’s Caples will put an added emphasis on the Courageous Client Award–an established Caples category, to honor those who boldly venture into the unexplored and achieve the unexpected.

Says Joanna Harp, publisher of Direct Marketing News: “Courage inspires creativity and creativity means Caples. The work honored by Caples isn’t just sexy–it’s brave, and that’s what makes the Caples winners circle such a source of inspiration.”
