Advertising Markings on unclassified Films and Computer Games

Advertising for an unclassified film or computer game must display an "advertising message".

The requirement to display an advertising message applies to print and electronic film directories and a range of advertising including print, moving image, internet and cinema trailers. Information about how to use advertising markings correctly is available in the compliance section of this website.

The advertising message is coloured orange. There are short and long versions of the advertising message. The examples below display advertising message markings:

The message appears with the text “Check the Classification”

Short Message:

The message appears with the text “CTC”
