Entries for The Reelies Awards 2024 are now closed. We will be announcing the 2025 date for The Reelies Awards in Atlanta, GA soon! Learn more here.

Having an entry fee is very common practice in Advertising & Marketing Award Shows. We put them in place to avoid spam and low-quality entries and allow us to put this whole thing together. Everyone pays the exact same fees, so you don’t need to worry about favoritism (which, if you already know us, you probably don’t!)

The Reelies is only accepting entries from the U.S. and Canada residents, 21 and up. If that’s your case and you want to submit a Reel ina different language, please provide translations in your entry form (you can sdd it below the Reel URL.).

All Reels will be judged fairly and have the same chance to win, purely based on the categories they enter.

Number of followers and the performance of the Reel when posted will not be considered. Enter your Reels now.

Our 2024 winners were announced in an amazing in-person ceremony and red carpet on September 15, 2024 at the beautiful Plaza Theater in Atlanta, GA. We will be announcing the 2025 date soon, and you will want to get them before they sell out! Stay tuned for details!

Winners will get a beautiful trophy that they can receive on stage on the September 15 or get via mail.

They will also get featured in our Your Social Team email list of 37K+ subscribers with an option to add a link to a lead magnet, Instagram of 107K followers, added to this website, plus digital badges to share on social and on your website.

All finalists will also be awarded a Finalist Award Certificate that they can pick up at the event. If they can’t attend, they will be sent a digital copy of their certificate via email.

The live event in Atlanta is held in a beautiful vintage movie theater, The Plaza Theater. Dress your best to take photos on the red carpet and come mingle with other 300 business owners (great chance to meet your Instagram besties IRL). We will have an amazing host, Davi Crimmins, entertaining us between winner announcements and winners will be invited to hop on stage to collect their award and take photos.

Yes! Atlanta is an easy city to visit. We have the biggest airport in the world, which means direct flights to most major cities! The Reelies will be hosted at the Plaza Theater in the Ponce-Highlands neighborhood. For lodging we recommend Hotel Clermont, which is only a few blocks away and was made for a photo op. In case you want to opt for an AirBnB, neighborhoods that are close and good to stay at are Old Forth Ward, Virginia Highlands, Inman Park, Midtown. Downtown has lots of hotel options (10 minute drive to the event). More travel tips coming soon!

As much as we’d love to have you at The Reelies in person, we understand not everyone can travel to Atlanta or be available on that day.

Winners that aren’t present to receive their award on stage will receive their trophy via mail.

Finalists who are not present to pick up their Finalist Certificate in person will receive their certificates digitally.

You can absolutely bring a date to the event. You can come with your significant others, come with friends, meet your biz besties for the first time, bring your team as a treat to celebrate the good work and boost morale. Whoever you bring, they will have a blast! And if you come alone, I bet you will meet even more new people!

We will have a group of expert jurors voting on 5 finalists per category. See jury here. The winner will be picked by popular vote. So if you’re finalist, make sure to spread the word and share the link for people to vote for you!

Don’t worry, we will share all this with you via email when we announce the finalists!
