Pinnacle Awards

ABOUT THE PINNACLES

Awarded at the American Advertising Federation - Baton Rouge annual ADDY® show, a Pinnacle Award recognizes outstanding accomplishment within the advertising field and related industries. The awards were designed to enhance the awareness and professionalism of the industry and cite significant advertising contributions not directly related to the traditional “creative” sectors (copywriting, graphic design, etc.)

The Pinnacle Awards have not been awarded in recent years. Back by popular demand in 2010, the Pinnacles have evolved to better reflect our market composition and size, yet still achieve our goals. The awards will be held in conjunction with the ADDY® Awards to recognize all facets of the industry in one night.

Deserving individuals will be rewarded for their contribution and advancement in their respective field for the year 2009. Although sponsored by the American Advertising Federation - Baton Rouge, it is not necessary to be a member of the Federation to nominate or to be nominated for a Pinnacle.

PINNACLE AWARD NOMINATION

Award nominees must be currently employed by an advertising, marketing, public relations, promotions, graphic design, media sales, printing, production, or photographic entity, or by an entity related to the advertising, marketing, and publicity fields. Nominees must work primarily in the Baton Rouge market.

Nominations must include the accompanying nomination form, a nomination signature and a description of the merits and achievements of the nominee in a specific nomination category. Nominees may be entered into more than one category.

Nominees must demonstrate excellence within a specific industry role. Individuals should be nominated on the basis of accomplishments from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.

Nominees will be judged strictly on the nominations solicited through this awards process. Out-of-market industry professionals selected by the Pinnacle Awards chair will review the nominations. These judges have no prior knowledge of the nominees, and their decisions will be final.

Nominations must be received by Monday, January 11, 2010.
