Call for Entries: CLIO Awards 2009

Entries are now being accepted for the 2009 CLIO Awards.

This marks the 50th anniversary of the CLIO Awards, and this year’s Festival will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. From the CLIO website:

We’ve seen a lot over the past 50 years. But what we really want to see is what the next 50 years hold. So, in the spirit of looking ahead, we’re moving west. More specifically, Las Vegas. And we’re not stopping there. We’re adding new categories, new award shows and a renewed pledge to honor only the most innovative and original thinking. You can help by answering one simple question. What have you done that hasn’t been done?

Think your work has got what it takes to win in this competition? Take your best shot, but be sure to enter by January 23, 2009 February 13, 2009.

How to see the award-winning work

One of the most frequent comments I’ve heard since the Rockies Awards Show, and several others, is ‘where can I see the work’? Given the fact that the American Advertising Federation has changed its submission guidelines and no longer requires entries to be mounted for display, that poses a new challenge.

The Austin Advertising Federation came up with a solution for The Austin Show, and I have to say – I like it. They created a program for the event which featured the winners’ work, as well as the respective credits. Not only was the program available at the show, but it can also be viewed online, as a PDF.

To the folks at the Austin Advertising Federation I say “well done.”

Think something like this could happen locally?

Rockies Award Show – The Aftermath

Well, once again the Rockies have come and gone this year.

Overall, I’d have to say that the show itself went over very well. The Big Easy (er. soon to be the Knitting Factory) seemed to be a great venue for the show. They took out the majority of the stage to allow for more tables toward the front of the room.

Another nice touch was having helpers to run awards out to the tables themselves. This kept the proceedings moving along, and avoided any awkward stumbling around chairs / tables that might have otherwise happened.

A couple of notes about the award winners:

IAF Silver Medal Award Winner: Michael Ripley of Lewiston.

Drake Cooper, Oliver Russell, and Marketing Media Group were the heavyweights of the night, but it was also nice to see others being recognized, such as Davies Rourke, Foerstel Design, The Agency Creative Network, Donahoe Pace, Rizen Creative and many, many more.

Best of Show, and a number of other awards, went to Noot Group.

Congratulations to all.

In the end, awards were won, hangovers were installed, and everyone appeared to have a good time.

Rockies Award Show

For those of you who may not have received an email about this already, now’s the time to RSVP for the Rockies Award Show. The show is Saturday, April 12th at The Big Easy in Boise.

RSVPs should go to Jason Hamilton at Fuel 3 Advertising. I traded emails with Jason yesterday and he mentioned that there’s only a couple of tables left, so if you haven’t already gotten your name in you need to do so soon.
