Accuracy and Finalization of Company & Individual Credits
- All agency and client names are listed properly in accordance to company policy and precisely as the companies should be listed in the Effie Effectiveness Index® and in all forms of publicity. I understand that if this entry becomes a finalist or winner, these companies will receive credit in the Effie Index and will be publicized by Effie Worldwide/Effie Awards and any relevant partners.
- All integral strategic partners are credited and given the appropriate level of credit:
- Lead Agency: The entering agency, responsible for the key components of the effort.
- Client: The client company. Where relevant, the Client Name should be the overarching client company, which may be different from the Brand Name.
- Additional Lead Agency (if applicable-1 max): Contributed so integrally to the success of the effort that this agency should receive equal billings as the entering Lead Agency.
- Contributing Companies(if applicable): Contributed significantly to the success of the effort. Contributing companies will receive fewer points in the Effie Index than both the Lead Agency and Additional Lead Agency (if applicable) and will be recognized as a contributor on the case.
- All credited individuals (10 max) have been checked for accuracy (confirmed level of involvement, spelling, title, etc.) and were integral to the success of the submitted effort. All individuals must be team members (current or former) of one of the credited companies listed.
- It is the responsibility of the entrant to confirm and accurately submit all agency office names, networks, holding companies, brand names, and client names. If the Effie Index team uncovers an inconsistency, it is their right to amend the credits.
- I confirm that the credits submitted are accurate and complete.
- No agencies or individuals integral to this submission are omitted from the credits listed.

- The Lead Agency and Additional Lead Agency (if applicable) are considered final at the time of entry and cannot be removed or added after the entry is finalized and accepted by Effie Worldwide.
