We've eliminated the advertising awards and creative awards categories for The 2011 American Business Awards. But don't fret, we've created many new Marketing Campaign of the Year categories, and advertising campaigns or campaign elements may be entered in any of these categories, as part of your overall marketing campaign submission.
The big difference in 2011, though, is that you'll now be able to submit an essay or case of up to 500 words about the genesis, development, execution, and results of your campaign. In the past you had to do all that in up to 100 words.
Here are the new marketing categories (the letter/number combinations are in internal category codes). You'll note that a few of the Specialty Campaign categories are advertising-specific:
