To be considered for nomination in the various categories, you must use the online submission system. Each company must strictly adhere to the entry guidelines and criteria detailed below. Companies from around the world are invited to enter into all of the awards categories. All entries must be submitted in English.

Review the available categories and identify which ones you might want to enter. You can enter multiple categories. Remember to ensure that the brand, product or promotion you plan to enter had retail distribution between January 2021 through January 2022.
Before you actually start your submission, review if there are any partners that you should coordinate with (e.g. brand-owners, agents, manufacturers) to avoid overlap or duplication, and gather up to 5 optimized images (each file must not exceed 1024px tall x 1024px wide, 300dpi resolution, and no more than 2MB). You may upload a YouTube web-link.
Submissions are $100 for Licensing International Members, and $175 for non-members. Be sure to enter the Discount Code and your Member-Company number to activate the code! Members will receive an email with their personalized company information. CLICK HERE to find out How-To find your Member-Company Number.
Create a log in for the online submissions portal, or sign in if you’ve already created your profile. This way you can save and come back to finish or edit.
If you created a profile in a previous year, either as an entrant or a judge, your credentials should still work. You can easily reset your password if you are not sure, and of course you can always reach out to us if you encounter any problems logging in. Licensing International Members will receive an email with their specific Member Company Number and a Discount Code. Both will be needed to unlock your member-pricing.
Once you’ve logged in, you’ll see a list of all available categories and symbols indicating where you are in the entry process. Select the category entry you want to work on. You can edit as much as you want until February 4, 2022.
Fill out all the required fields telling us about your submission (in short, why you should win). Sharing facts & figures as much as you can has shown to be helpful in the judging & voting process. Then, show us what you’re talking about with up to five optimized images (i.e. each file must not exceed a height of 1024px and a width of 1024px , 300dpi resolution, and no more than 2MB). You can also link to a YouTube video, but it’s not required.
We are in the licensing business after all… Before you can finish, you’ll need to give Licensing International permission to use the content you send. No work required on your part, just read and click Yes.
You’ll then make your payment and, last but not least, submit your entry!
Congrats!
You’re done! Now the only thing to do is wait until April to see if your entry makes the ballot.
On second thought
Thought of something else? No problem. You can edit your entries at any time during the submission period by logging in and going to your Account page. Just make sure you finalize everything before 11:59PM February 4, 2022.
We’re sorry, but the submission period for the 2020 Hall of Fame nominations has closed.
