PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Now entering their seventh year, the 2010 NSF ADchievement Awards will be presented February 1-3, 2010, at the 2010 National Sports Forum in Baltimore. 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 2010 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 2010 National Sports Forum in Baltimore 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.
