William Rice Earlier this month, the Web
Marketing Association announces the launched of it's 7th annual Internet
Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The IAC Awards are the first and
only industry-based advertising award competition dedicated exclusively to
online advertising. The Competition Web site is located at www.iacaward.org and the deadline for entry is
January 31, 2009. The end of the year is a great
time to evaluate the creative work that has been developed throughout the
year and get it ready to be entered into the IAC Awards. As the difficult
economy continues, earning third party accolades such as winning awards,
generate credibility that may make a difference. If you have an existing IAC
Award Nominator Account, you can log in and start submitting your entries
(Remember, a WebAward Nominator Account can not be used for the IAC
Awards). If you don't yet have an IAC Award Nominator Account, you can
create one here. Awards will be presented within
each of the industry categories and advertising formats such as online ad
(including banner, pop-up or interstitial), rich media online ad, email
message, online newsletter campaign, Website and integrated ad campaign
and ads the client did not choose. Best of show award for each medium will
be selected from among the industry winners. Ads eligible for entry in the
competition must have run during the period from January 1, 2006 through
January 31, 2009, except for "Ads the Client did not pick, which do not
need to have run.. Call for IAC Judges
If you would like to be
considered for the 2009 IAC Award Judging Panel, please complete the
Judges Nomination Form. Past IAC Award Judges should
have received an email inviting them back to judge the 2009 awards. There
is no need to complete the form again, just reply to the email or wait for
another email that will be sent later this week. WebAward Surveys
We always end the WebAwards
with a survey of participants and judges and this year is no exception. We
have just sent out our survey requests by email and will follow up again
later this week. Completing the survey does not take much time and we do
really use them to make the WebAwards better. So please take a moment and
help us to improve the WebAwards. Bill Rice
