Cinematography and Website Competition : Best Online Video Advertising Campaign to Be Named by Web Marketing Association

Deadline : January 29, 2010
WEST SIMSBURY, CT, November 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Web Marketing Association judges will select the best online video advertising campaigns of 2009 in 86 industries as part of their 8th annual Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The IAC Awards are the first and only industry-based advertising award competition dedicated exclusively to online advertising. This is the first year the online video advertising will be competing as a standalone category. Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their work for consideration may do so at http://www.IACAward.org before the deadline of January 29, 2010.

"Online video has exploded in popularity over the past few years as a form of advertising and it looks like this trend is likely to continue," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. "Videos can be standalone viral projects, serials, or page-based creative. Each online video ad will be judged on creativity, innovation, impact, design, copywriting, and use of the medium. The IAC Awards provides an opportunity to find out who is doing an outstanding job creating online video. It's also a great marketing opportunity for the winners to promote their work to senior management, customers and prospects".

The 2010 Internet Advertising Competition Awards will accept entries from 86 industries, including small business, airline, social network, B2B, consumer goods, biotech, education, entertainment, health care, financial services, pharmaceuticals, professional services, environmental, technology and travel just to name a few. Entries judged to be outstanding will receive an IAC Award. The entry receiving the highest score in each industry will be recognized as the best online newsletter for that industry.

"We believe that winning an industry specific award is more valuable to the participant. It allows the participants to be judges against their peers, just like in the marketplace," said Rice.

The 2010 Internet Advertising Competition Awards are open to all organizations and individuals (advertising and interactive agencies, corporate marketing departments, etc.) involved in the process of developing Internet advertising. Entries may be submitted online at IACAward.org. The deadline for entry is January 29, 2010 and will be judged on creativity, innovation, impact, design, copywriting, and use of the medium.
