NYX recognizes the contributions of the creative community through a dedicated Pro Bono category, highlighting work created in support of non-profit organizations and meaningful initiatives.
Participants who submit at least one paid entry are eligible to enter pro bono work at no additional cost.
Eligibility & Submission
• Up to three (3) pro bono entries may be submitted per participant
• Multiple projects for the same client should be submitted as a single entry
• The work must be completed without professional fees or compensation
• Hard costs (e.g., materials or production expenses) may be covered by the client or partners
To qualify for complimentary entry, submissions must be made by an official representative of the organization. Agencies, individuals, or freelancers may not submit on behalf of a client under this category; such entries should be submitted under the Non-Profit category instead.
All pro bono entries are evaluated based on the same judging criteria, including creativity, execution, and overall impact.
Submission Requirement
Pro bono entries must be submitted in addition to at least one paid category entry in the same competition cycle.
