2011 NSF ADchievement Awards
The NSF ADchievement Awards recognize the year's best sports-themed advertising campaigns in eight different categories. In addition to the eight categories, the prestigious NSF ADchievement Overall Award of Excellence is presented to the sports property judged to have the best advertising across all eight categories. Now in their eighth year, the 2011 NSF ADchievement Awards will be presented January 31 - February 2, 2011, at the 2011 National Sports Forum in Louisville.  This is your opportunity to pit your organization's advertising against the best and most effective in the sports industry - giving you a chance to "take a bow" in front of the entire industry. New for 2011 is the "Six Pack Special" which allows teams, colleges, agencies, properties and organizations to submit six entries for a flat rate fee.

2011 NSF SAMMY Award
In their fourth year, the SAMMY Award recognizes the best Sales, Advertising, Marketing & Management idea of the Year Award.  We want you to give us the one "killer" idea your organization put into practice this year!  All you need to do is take a few minutes to look back over the last year - what's the one thing your sales department... marketing department... corporate sponsorship service division... retailer relations... HR... your advertising people... or ticket sales staff has implemented that's been nothing short of a really great idea?  Narrow it down to the best idea and send it to us along with the entry fee by the November 30 deadline and we'll take it from there. 

    It's simple - all we need you to do is answer three questions:

        1. What was your OBJECTIVE? (What were you looking to do?)

        2. What ACTION didi you take to accomplish that objective?

        3. What was the RESULT of that action? (in other words...what happened?)
