    Humble brag alert...

    Hoping to get my first golden pencil. One of my projects from last year is a finalist in the integrated campaign category. I was super honored, then I looked at the list of finalists and there are hundreds.

    The One Show folks are making serious cash with all these entries I expect.

    • Paying to get awards defeats the purpose I guess...grafician
    • But good luck mate!grafician
    • That'll look mighty fine on your CV, even if you don't win.DRIFTMONKEY
    • Haha, same here. After Shortlist comes Finalist. That is still no pencil. What's next? "Congrats, you nearly won a pencil. But you didn't".Longcopylover
    • $450 per entry?! What a ton of backslapping cunt bullshitpedromendez
    • But the best of luck to you wagshaft! :)pedromendez
    • Show us the golden pencil when you win it! Fingers crossed!SimonFFM
    • Worse thing is you still have to pay for a ticket to go to the awards...inteliboy
    • And you have to pay to get a physical trophy, too.Continuity
    • Great stuff. Still get's super ridiculous that the cost of these things is so high that winning an award almost becomes a business is it's own rightIanbolton
