Show us what made your inbox shine this year.
This year, the RGE community sparked 32,000 design saves, started 17,000 new collections, and inspired marketers in more than 120 countries to create better, more human emails. Got something brilliant of your own? Submit your email and show the world what you’ve been working on.
The Really Good Email Awards return this December 17 with a retro-inspired awards show filled with pixel trophies, creative flair, and a crowd that gets way too excited about a perfectly aligned CTA button.
At RGE, we've spent years exploring what makes an email truly great. The kind that earns a click, sparks joy, and makes every inbox feel welcome. The awards honor the people who make that magic happen, chosen by an independent panel of email experts who recognize the designers, strategists, and copywriters keeping email the most creative, inclusive, and human space in marketing.
The Categories
Great emails come in all forms. We're honoring creativity across every corner of the inbox, from clever storytelling to accessible design that hits all the right pixels. These are the categories where your work can shine:
Each category is an opportunity to level up the inbox and celebrate the campaigns that did more than just send. They connected, resonated, and inspired.
How to Submit Your Email
Think your latest campaign deserves some love? Maybe you're chasing glory. Perhaps you just want to outshine Greg from Sales, who won't stop talking about his "industry-leading open rates." Either way, this is your moment.
How it works:
Winners will be featured live during the livestreamed awards show on December 17, earning eternal bragging rights, an RGE-approved pixel trophy, and the right to add "Award-Nominated Email Marketer" to your dating profile.
Why This Matters
Behind all the fun, the Really Good Email Awards are about connection. They're about the community that keeps this weird, wonderful channel alive, and the craft behind every thoughtful send.
Whether you're here to win, watch, or just grab some popcorn and cheer on the inbox legends, it's worth your time. You'll see the year's best work, pick up a few new ideas, and get that creative recharge you've definitely earned.
To everyone who writes, designs, tests, and sends with care, thank you. You're the reason this community exists and the reason the inbox keeps getting better every year. Here's to more ideas shared, more creativity sparked, and more people who believe that email can be really, really good.
One year after the acquisition, we’re still weird, still writing newsletters, just with more people. Here’s what we learned.
Six months ago, we sold ReallyGoodEmails.com after a decade of building it from the ground up.
