ABOUT THE AVA AWARDS:
--------------------------------------
The advent of moving pictures over a century ago spawned a continually changing world for communicating with visual technology. Methods of capturing, recording, processing, storing, and transmitting a sequence of still images has evolved into a technological and creative art form. Technology continues to provide us with new ways to use moving pictures but while the messenger medium evolves, the object is still the same...using a sequence of moving pictures to entertain and inform.
The international Ava Awards recognizes outstanding work by creative professionals involved in the concept, writing, direction, shooting, and editing of audio-visual materials and programs. Entries include film, analog and digital productions viewed in a wide variety of mediums- from movie screens to televisions to computers. Entrants include video and film production companies, web developers, advertising agencies, PR firms, corporate and government communication departments, producers, directors, editors, and shooters.
Ava Awards is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP). The international organization consists of several thousand production, marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, and free-lance professionals. The Association administers recognition programs; provides judges and rewards outstanding achievement and service to the profession.
AMCP also oversees the MarCom Awards and the Hermes Creative Awards, two of the largest competitions for marketing and communication professionals in the world. The competitions are so well thought of in the industry that national public relations organizations, local ad clubs, and local business communicator chapters are entrants. Ava Awards was started in response to AMCP members wanting a competition specifically for the audio-visual industry.
