This year’s Agency Showcase Competition will be a little bit different from past competitions and the outcome should be pleasing to everyone.

Here are some of the changes being made to the Showcase:

Annual Report Content and Single Catelog Content will be their own categories

The Specific Facility, Event and Program category will be combined and include anything from postcards to flyers…from tri-folds to videos!

Electronic Newsletters will be a new category added.

There will also be a new category for Most Improved where entries of all types can compete.

Judging will be based on two different divisions: contracted graphic designers vs. in-house staff doing the work.

Awards will be given to first, second and third place winners.

There will be a People’s Choice Award conducted at Conference.
