Today is the final entry deadline for The 2012 (10th Annual) American Business Awards, the premier business awards program in the U.S.A. All ABA entries are submitted directly online through your account and the web site will be open all night to accept your entries. You can begin by registering here.
We thought it would be helpful for marketing professionals if we highlighted the top four reasons to submit entries to the 2012 ABA marketing awards categories.
- Impress potential clients.
Your work will not only be reviewed and honored by peers and competitors, but also by potential clients. Show off your organization's achievements in the 2012 ABAs. - Global recognition and free publicity.
Gold Stevie® Award winners will have the opportunity to make a 30-second acceptance speech before an audience of 600+ executives from across the country during a nationally-broadcast awards ceremony that will also be streamed worldwide over the Internet. - Earn industry status.
Submitting ABA entries is a great way to benchmark your achievements against competitors in your industry. - Low entry fees.
The publicity that comes with winning a Stevie Award is well worth the low entry fees.
Marketing award entries should include the following information:
- An essay of up to 500 words describing the nominee's achievements since January 1 2011
- A biography of the nominee or the leader of the nominated company, department or team of up to 100 words
- Optional (but highly recommended), a collection of supporting files and web addresses that you may upload to our server to support your entry and provide more background information to the judges
If you have questions regarding the submission process, we have several resources including a step-by-step video on how to submit entries, past winners' entries for your review, and 7 tips on submitting winning entries to help you make the most out of your entries.
