Yes, you can enter the same work into as many relevant categories (only one entry per category though). Remember, each category has different criteria so your written submission may need to be amended accordingly.

That is entirely up to you. However, we recommend you get approval, not least because your client will likely be chuffed to know that you were so pleased with their job you have entered it for an award – so why not?

Just one copy of each sample is fine.
