December 2004 Newsletter

Welcome to the December issue of The Stevie Awards newsletter. We wish you a happy holiday season and the best for the New Year!

Because delivery of the Call for Nominations brochure for The 2005 (second annual) International Business Awards has been slow around the world, the organizers have decided to change the entry deadline for the 2005 IBAs to February 25.

The Call for Nominations brochure was mailed during the first week of October to more than 29,000 executives in over 150 countries worldwide, but delivery has been suspect - people in many countries have only just received the brochure in the past week.

The brochure is being reprinted with the new entry deadline and will be remailed during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.

The change of the entry deadline will necessitate the scheduling of the awards gala in New York City in May rather than April. The date of the gala will be announced soon.

Preliminary Judging Applications for 2005 Stevie Awards Now Being Accepted

If your application is accepted you will be assigned categories based on your experience, industry, and function. (You will not be permitted to judge categories to which your own company has submitted nominations.) You will be able to judge as many nominations as you would like, at your convenience, over the Internet.

Whether you can allot just a few minutes or a few hours to judging, participation is a great way to learn how other companies are achieving success, and how other entrants have prepared their nominations. The two preliminary judges in both the IBAs and the ABAs who score the most nominations will each be offered two free tickets to the respective awards gala.
