NEW FOR 2008 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY - AD FED EAST CENTRAL IN LOCAL ONLY CATEGORY

This category is for all that great work and sweat that went into the project that never ran. (Maybe the client didn’t use it. Maybe a decision was made to pull the work before it ran.) Work will be judged with all professional entries and will be eligible for a Gold or Silver ADDY®. Local only categories are not forwarded to the District ADDY® Competition. Several Ad Clubs throughout the country have included this category in their competition for many years. Ad Fed ECI is adding this category for the 2008 competition.

Because this is a new local only category we are going to extend the entires to those that have been created during the past five years. (January 1, 2002-December 31, 2007) All other entries must be created between January 1 and December 31, 2007.
