Do we have to name our clients?

That is your choice. A general description, such as a regional dental group, is welcome. Entries are seen only by the judges and the awards team, and you decide what is shared publicly.

Who judges the awards?

A panel of social media and agency industry veterans. Every entry in a category is assessed against the same published criteria, and judges step back from any entry where they have a conflict of interest.

How are finalists and winners chosen?

Judging runs in two rounds. Each entry is scored individually, the highest-scoring entries in each category become finalists, and the panel then meets to select the winner.

How does public voting work?

Public voting runs from February 15 to February 28, 2027 and decides The Crowd Favorite. Every other award is decided by the judges.

What do finalists and winners receive?

Badges and announcement assets to use in proposals, on your website and across social, along with a place on the 2027 finalists and winners pages.

Congratulations. Agencies are nominated by our editorial team, by other agencies or by entering directly. Accept your nomination to add your details and enter.

Who runs the Social Agency Awards?

The awards are presented by Cloud Campaign, which builds social media management software for marketing agencies. Entry is open to every eligible agency, and the software an agency uses plays no part in judging.
