The Elevate Conference has always been about bringing the best minds in independent school marketing together to share ideas, learn from each other, and push the industry forward. Now, we’re taking it a step further with the Elevate Awards, a brand-new opportunity to showcase the incredible work being done in school marketing and communications.
What Are the Elevate Awards?
The Elevate Awards recognize outstanding marketing projects created by schools in three key categories:
🔹 Websites – Celebrating digital excellence in design, user experience, and content strategy.
🔹 Video Projects – Honoring compelling storytelling, cinematic quality, and creative execution.
🔹 Print Projects – Showcasing beautifully designed publications, brochures, and print collateral.
Unlike traditional competitions, the Elevate Awards are not about competing against other schools—they’re about recognizing and celebrating your school’s creative efforts on their own merits. Submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged by the Elevate organizers and the host school’s team, ensuring a thorough and fair evaluation process.
How It Works
Each submission will be evaluated based on a detailed scoring rubric, with projects earning one of three distinctions:
🏆 Platinum Award – Exemplary work that sets a high standard in school marketing.
🥇 Gold Award – Outstanding execution and creativity, demonstrating strong strategic impact.
🥈 Silver Award – High-quality work that effectively supports marketing objectives.
Each participating school will receive a certificate reflecting their final score, and award recipients will be announced at Elevate 2025 during the conference.
