If you are interested in submitting your work to Digital Signage Expo’s 7th Annual APEX & Content Awards you now have about four weeks to get it all together.
The submissions deadline is Friday, Nov. 12, 2010. Submission forms are available at: http://www.digitalsignageexpo.net/DigitalSignageExpo/AwardsDinner.aspx.
The APEX Awards categories include: Arts, Entertainment & Recreation; Business, Industry & Government; Education & Healthcare; Event Venues; Food & Beverage; Hospitality; Public Spaces, Retail, Transportation; and “New Concept,” the latter of which refers to highly innovative and future-forward digital signage applications.
Content nominees must have a new or current digital signage or interactive technology program installed or in roll-out phase between January 1, 2010 – December 31, 2010 and will be judged on: Creative Relevance, Production Quality and fulfillment of the Intended Mission. Independent industry panels will judge the APEX and Content Award entries submitted for all end-user categories.
Awards are handed out at a dinner on Feb. 23 at the Paris Hotel in Lost Wages from 7-9 pm. Tickets are $125 now and go up $25 about a month before the show.
So is it worth entering?
Yup. It’s good marketing material, and the DSE website does a really nice, thorough job of profiling the winners and why they won.
It also helps raise the bar when people get a chance to see good work, which is still on the rare side in this young sector.
