Who wants to win tickets to see legwork and Impossible win?
I don't bother people; I respect them. If I wanted to go I would buy tickets. If they are not doing company groups and planning to upload winners at a later date to be viewed online or in a publication.
Pretty lame to heckle someone of no significance online relentlessly with no positive gains in a rewarding outcome.
Who generated this list? Eeeek.
The last category's pretty dead-on.
Yea who made this list? were there submissions?
I think the fifty is pretty great in recognizing people in the field and encouraging community within the field. it is a vehicle as the thirty odd agency nationwide awards to get recognized name & established credibility.
I would not submit, advertise my work, even as a door impromptu door puzzle I can't figure out. I know it is not for me and my decision as to how I show it or use it to work. it is my own small hobby I do for enjoyment when others are not taking even that away from me. I don't consider myself some awesome tryranasoris that has to attack competition ruthlessly for survival, or threatening others: how ever blatant the notice and by whom. Yes it is GAY.
In perspective: There are a multitude of individuals here(on the egotist network) at all levels tenor and businesses. As hard as it is to show work for beginners to get anywhere.
So cheers to the drama!
Where is the beef?
Ad club members were allowed to submit nominees for the last month or so in these categories. That's where the list came from.
F'em and those categories. I'm a model!
Props to Bryce and Pete!!!!
My question is how they are defining "best". Is it "best" in terms of generating the biggest results for the client? Is it "best" in terms of a$$ ki$$ing the best? Is it "best" in terms of being the most popular amongst peers?
Please, give some reason as to why these people are the "best".
Everyone has their own tastes and styles, and there are proven results with newer media and business. Ofcourse politics in Denver and Colorado and probably a little bit of brown nosing and ballet stuffing.
anybody that thinks they know it all and has the best taste at anything and how it should be done relentlessly is possibly the most annoying thing ever as a personalty traight. Even if your right.
You cant win if you don't enter. So them entered or were nomineed by club members and LOCAL agencies in the state. Most practicing professionals are club members and then some which might straggle on their own?
I'm positive that the judges listed here have categories they rate and might be online even and I'm sure the judges were selected because of rediculous backgrounds and work, experience, etc.
Just a hunch? Check the Adclub website they usually have judging guidelines. Ask them by direct email on the site!
Were the winners of the Aces ever published? I wasn't able to make the show and want to know if I won for Educator! (Or at least know who bested me!) If anyone can recollect or point me toward a link I'd much appreciate it.
Here's a list to the 2011 ACES winners: http://newdenveradclub.com/index.cfm?PID=1013&ID=3339,12036,11715 Congratulations to all the nominees and winners.
