January 2005 Newsletter

Welcome to the January issue of The Stevie Awards newsletter. We wish you a Happy New Year!

The entry deadline for the 3rd annual American Business Awards is just 9 days away. All American companies, including the U.S.-based operations of foreign companies, are eligible to enter. You may retrieve a Nomination Kit by going here on the ABA web site.

Most entrants find it convenient to submit their nominations directly through the ABA web site, which we encourage you to do. Entrants may submit any number of nominations to any number of categories. There are dozens of categories to choose from.

Tip: If you don't have time to write the essays that are required for nominations in many categories, enter your company's advertising or other media work instead. There are many categories in the Advertising & Corporate Media section of the ABAs for ad campaigns, corporate web sites, annual reports, corporate videos, interactive multimedia, and more. It takes just a few minutes to prepare and submit nominations in these categories.

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.
