The Clock is Ticking on the Rockies

Well damn.

I was all ready to tee off on the Boise Advertising Federation for not having any information available about the 2009 Rockie Awards, the submission process, deadlines and such.

And then I went to the Rockie Awards website. Talk about taking the wind out of my sails.

So, since there’s no ranting to be done now, here’s the skinny:

The Idaho Advertising Federation is now accepting entries for the 2009 Rockie Awards. Entries are due by Sunday, February 8th. All the details, including entry requirements, costs, etc. can be found on the Rockie Awards website.

Oh, and keep Saturday, April 18th open. That’s the date for the Rockies Award Show at The Knitting Factory in Boise.
