Participate in the 2012 Multicultural Excellence Awards competition!
The ANA Multicultural Excellence Awards celebrate the year's preeminent multicultural advertising campaigns. The awards, sponsored by the ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Committee, were created 12 years ago to help raise awareness and recognition for the outstanding work being done in the areas of African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and LGBT advertising. Nominations are open to both client-side marketers and agencies, including ANA members and nonmembers.
This year's award recipients will be announced at the ANA's 14th Annual Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference and will take place October 28-30 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Miami, FL. A portion of the proceeds collected from the awards submission fees help to fund scholarships for high-potential multicultural students who plan to pursue careers in advertising and/or marketing.
