More details can be found on the original post.
Time is Running Out
Wow. Almost feels like I’m selling cars or furniture with that headline… Nevertheless, the clock is ticking. Entries for the Idaho Advertising Federation’s 2010 Rockie Awards are due by Friday, February 5th.
Or, if you’re feeling generous and would like to pay additional fees, the late submission deadline is Friday, February 12th.
Call for Entries: IMPACT Awards
Capital City Communicators, a Treasure Valley organization for professional communicators, has announced a Call for Entries for the inaugural IMPACT Awards.
The IMPACT Awards, which stands for Idaho Marketing, PR, and Communication Talent, “offer Idaho communicators a unique opportunity to showcase their work, receive expert feedback and gain peer and industry recognition,” said Jeff Reynolds, CCC president and owner of Rizen Creative.
From the CCC website:
We’re looking for the best and the brightest of 2009 – the marketing or communications project that made heads turn and people take notice. It’s time to show off your great work from the past year and earn recognition among your peers.
Entries will be accepted from Dec. 14, 2009 to Feb. 4, 2010. Award winners will be recognized at the IMPACT Award Recognition event in mid March 2010.
Early entries are due by January 28th, and late entries will be accepted (for an additional fee of course) through February 4th.
DEADLINE: Rockie Awards Entry Deadline
Take a moment to put this on your calendar.
Seriously, stop what you’re doing, pull up your calendar, grab your BlackBerry, iPhone, Droid or *gasp* piece of scratch paper and write this down.
The entry deadline for the 2010 Rockie Awards is February 5th, 2010. Details should be available on the Rockie Awards website soon (if they aren’t already), but in the mean time, start getting your materials together and be ready to submit your entries.
You’ve done good work over the past year. Now’s your chance to prove it.
On Award Shows
Our friends at The Denver Egotist have a great opinion on the state of award shows: Award Shows Need to Evolve or Die.
And just in case you were wondering what their opinion really was, here’s a short snippet from the piece:
The problem with award shows right now is that although they celebrate creativity, most of the time anyway, they rarely consider context or effectiveness. And often, it’s not possible to really know the effectiveness of a big-budget branding campaign. So at the end of the day, the judging criteria is wide-open.
