This year, the Best of the Best Marketing Competition Awards ceremony will return to the Marketing Summit (formerly the Adventure Conference) in August. That’s right, no more mailing awards and recording videos—you can accept your award live and in person!
“But wait,” you ask, “How will I know if I’ve won a coveted crystal star?” As in past years, you’ll receive an email from tED magazine Publisher Scott Costa informing you that you’ve won. However, you won’t know in which category. Why? Because the awards ceremony is just one small part of what will be an awesome marketing conference. It’s an educational and networking event that your entire marketing team should attend, not just the person accepting the award.

Overall Best of the Best Distributor and Supplier will be a surprise!
Another exciting new development is how the Overall Best of the Best Distributor and Best of the Best Supplier awards will be announced. The finalists and the two winners will be announced at the awards ceremony. Unlike in past years, the winners won’t know until that evening. Those who do know ahead of time will be sworn to secrecy.
Final deadline to enter Best of the Best is March 31!
If you missed the “On Time” deadline of March 4, don’t worry. You still have time to submit your entries by the March 31 late deadline for $200 per entry. Start now, take your time writing your Statement of Purpose, and use all the resources available to you. Listen to the Best of the Best Podcasts, read the Best of the Best blogs, use the Statement of Purpose template and accompanying tips, read the FAQs, and follow the entry guidelines. You can find all of them here:
