Call for Entries Announced for 14th Annual Summit Creative Awards
The marketing industry's prestigious award for small & mid-size agencies
once again seeks to honor the most creative works found worldwide.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 5, 2007 -- The Summit International Awards today announced they are now accepting entries for the Summit Creative Award competition. Recognized worldwide as the industry's most prestigious award given exclusively for works created by small and mid-size marketing firms, the Summit Creative Award has become a coveted honor that draws the highest caliber of contestants from around the globe.
Open exclusively to advertising and public relations agencies, advertisers, video, graphics and multimedia companies and other creative firms with annual billings of less than $30 million, the Summit Creative Award provides a public spotlight for the enormously creative work being done by some of today's smaller firms. Each year the competition draws thousands of entries from more than 50 countries.
This year, awards will be given in 21 categories including one devoted to Emerging Media such as blogs, online advertising campaigns and e-mail programs. "The Summit Creative Award acknowledges the fact that some of the most creative and effective marketing campaigns today are being developed by smaller agencies," said Ilan Geva, principal and creative director for Ilan Geva and Friends and one of last year's judges. "The level of work submitted by entrants in last year's Summit Creative Award highlights why many of today's largest clients are turning to smaller agencies for their expertise."
"A fully fleshed-out Redesign category is expected to have a strong showing as firms aim to demonstrate their leadership in the marketplace," said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director of the Summit Awards. "Subcategories include Logos, Brand, Collateral, Print, Broadcast, and Websites Redesign."
The site also serves as a resource for industry news and hosts links to related information along with winner microsites. The public can learn about current and past winners and view many winning submissions on the Awards web site .
Judging is done by a panel of industry professionals representing some of the top creative agencies from around the world.
