POPAI Digital Signage Awards - Extension to Feb 1

Filed Under Advertising, Digital Signage, Event 

This is a knockoff post of of Bill’s but since I’m one of Bill’s lackeys on the awards committee and a judge, I wanted to get this out to more folks.

POPAI is about 70 years old and has been the major awards presenter (and association) in the retail industry for some time.  The award judging and ceremony is Bill and Tedin Chicago at GlobalShop, which is THE industry event for retail solutions and creativity - maybe after the NRF.

Anyhoo…They’ve created a new award for Digital Signage, recognizing excellence and creativity in our field. per their site:

Digital Signage is a network of digital displays that are centrally managed and addressable for targeted information, entertainment, merchandising and advertising.

Each year, the industry’s best will vie for top honors in the Digital Signage Awards contest. This contest highlights and acknowledges excellence in retail digital signage. As we recognize the importance of this emerging media to marketing and advertising strategy, POPAI’s Digital Signage Awards contest will help raise the standards in digital signage. The 2008 Digital Signage Awards will prove to be both exciting and innovative.

If you’ve got something to show off, Go here and download the entry form.  Entries are due Feb 1.

…and yes…it’s pathetic but Bill & Ted’s Excellent adventure wasn’t an accident….right Gerba? :)

    … a long time ago when WireSpring was thinking about joining one of those dot.com-era business incubators, I was actually sitting in a meeting with the incubator’s head “investigator” who looked like he was about 12. I introduced myself. He responded, “Hi Bill. I’m Ted. Let’s begin our *excellent* adventure together.” I couldn’t decide if it was more creepy or lame, but thankfully I didn’t have to think about it too much since we wound up not working together anyway.

    But I digress. Back to work, lackey! Keep your nose to the grindstone and you’re a shoe-in for peon during review this spring. From there, it’s only a short time before you make minion. And you know… minions get *all* the girls.
