Rules for the 2019 GJA Awards
Please read these carefully.
No company may be nominated for more than one award on substantially the same basis. GJA Awards will discard entries for multiple awards which broadly replicate other entries.
We reserve the right to move an entry to a different category from the category entered if the entry is better suited to that category.
- In the event that there are too few qualified nominations in a particular category, GJA Awards reserves the right to not select a winner in that category.
- In the event that there are no qualified nominations in a particular category, The GJA Awards Awarding Board reserves the right shortlist or nominate and further select a winner in that category.
- The finalists for all individual awards must accept their award in person if they are selected the winner.

In the event that a third party nominates a company or individual, GJA Awards will contact the nominated company or individual and ask the nominee to review the nomination for accuracy and, if necessary, provide any missing documentation. If the company or individual fails to provide the required response by the specified date, the nomination will be excluded from competition.
