This time of year is always hectic for us.  We are involved with several industry organizations and January is the start of the awards competition season for many.

The competitions are a great way to support our local and national associations and gives us a chance to see the latest trends within the industry.

Today we submitted two pieces into the Printing Industries of the Gulf Coast (PIGC) Graphic Excellence Awards.  One entry is a direct mail piece we created for a local nonprofit to solicit enrollment in the ACA; the other is our BEB Interactive Calendar!  Winners will be announced in March, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

We’ve also entered our interactive calendar into the 2015 AVA Digital Awards for our use of QR Codes.  Winners will be announced on February 2nd and you can see our online submission by clicking here.

We’re also working on our essay questions for the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Awards of Excellence competition.  Entries are due by February 10th, and the entire company has submitted answers so we can submit an entry where everyone has contributed to the process!

Rounding out this year’s attempts will be the 2015 Hermes Awards and the coveted Houston AMA Crystal Awards.  It’s a busy time in the Marketing Department at BEB!
