– Create a new Pinterest board around your shortlisted category with your latest inspiration, products or tips. Submit your board here by Wednesday 23 October 2019*. This is optional.
Why?
- Capture the imagination of the judges — we will also be taking the breadth of your content on Pinterest into final consideration.
To share your good news, shortlisted creators will soon receive a ‘shortlisted badge’ via email — for your site, blog and social channels. We’ll also be promoting all the shortlisted Pins in marketing, PR and @PinterestUK social media channels too.*
The shortlist will be judged by the Pinterest UK Team — taking into consideration how inspiring, actionable and useful your shortlisted Pin/Pins are. The winning Pins will be announced the week commencing 28 October.
Winners and runners-up will be invited to celebrate at an Awards breakfast at a secret London location on 13 November, where they will receive their award. Plus we’ll be showcasing the winning Pins for the rest of the shortlisted creators to explore throughout the rest of the day, along with Pinterest educational workshops, panels and guest speakers. Look out for more info coming soon!
