Judges and Judging Criteria

A day of lively discussion

In September the judging panel for the Marketing Design Awards will convene.

Last year, it was a day full of lively discussion on current industry trends and what designers have been doing, that is new and innovative, to shake up an otherwise staid economy. In the end, the judges decided that not every category would have a winner, but that each of the declared winners was rightfully a design champion. The judging panel felt it was important to set a benchmark of excellence for the future and that standard of judging is inherited happily for 2010.

If you would like to be considered as a judge for the 2010 Awards please let Liz Lockard know as soon as possible (liz [dot] lockardathaymarket [dot] com)
