ClearMark Awards: How to Enter

What can you submit for a ClearMark?

You may submit materials written in English, Spanish, or French.

Important: If your material is written in Spanish or French, it must be submitted in the corresponding language category regardless of format, type, or delivery method.

Spanish- and French-language materials should not be entered in format-based categories (such as Apps, Websites, or Emails).

English-language entries may be submitted in any of the format-based categories listed below.
Spanish-language entries must be submitted in the Spanish category.
French-language entries must be submitted in the French category.

• Submit by the deadline: February 13, 2026 11:59 pm PST.
• Your entry should be for a North American audience or developed in North America for another audience.
• You can enter as many times as you would like.
• If you have a bilingual document and would like both versions to be judged, please submit it twice: once as an English-language version and once as a Spanish- or French-language version. The first entry is subject to the standard fee, while submitting the same document in a second language qualifies for the discounted Second Bilingual
