Dear Faithful Readers,
Good advertising is a delicate mix of art, sound, lighting and timing of delivery that adds up to make a big impact on its target audience. While there is a certain science behind bringing these elements together to create dynamite advertisements, there is also a bit of luck that comes into play. At the National Sports Forum, we have a strong appreciation for exceptional advertising and believe that it deserves to be recognized and shared. This is why we created the annual NSF ADchievement Awards, acknowledging the best sports-themed advertising of the year. If you believe your advertising is the best in the industry then continue reading to find out how you can put a spotlight on your efforts at the 2013 National Sports Forum in Orlando, FL!
Enjoy the feature,

2013 NSF ADchievement Awards

OBJECTIVES
To showcase the best sports-themed advertising campaigns of 2012
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Entering the 10th year, the 2013 NSF ADchievement Awards will be presented January 27 - 29, 2013, at the National Sports Forum in Orlando, FL. This is your chance to pit your organization's advertising against the best and most effective in the sports industry - giving you the potential to "take a bow" in front of the entire industry, and be recognized as the leader in our business!
The NSF ADchievement Awards highlight the year's best sports-themed advertising campaigns in North America. Campaigns can be submitted in any of the eight categories below. Finalists in each category will be determined by a preliminary judging panel consisting of independent advertising experts. Then, the attendees of the 2013 National Sports Forum will vote to determine the individual winners of each category.
In addition to the eight categories, the prestigious NSF ADchievement Overall Award of Excellence will be presented to the sports property with the best cumulative advertising. The panel of advertising experts will determine the winner prior to the conference using the total score of each organization's top six individual categories. A representative from the organization that wins the Overall Award of Excellence will be brought out (all expenses paid) to the 2013 National Sports Forum in Orlando to receive the award live, in front of the entire industry! The more categories you enter, the better chance you'll have at receiving the Overall Award of Excellence.
