This is the last day to vote for the Canadian New Media Awards (CNMA), the country’s only nationwide competition recognizing the accomplishments of Canada’s most successful digital media companies.
For its 10th year, the CNMA has established three new award categories: Digital Media Woman of the Year, Community Campaign of the Year and Digital Media Technology of the Year.
I am particularly pleased with the addition of the Digital Media Woman of the Year award. In my years as a technology marketer and publisher, and also in my volunteer roles with Wired Women and IABC, I have observed truly special talent by Canadian women in the interactive arena. What’s more, I am thrilled to have been asked to sit as a juror for this category.
The Digital Media Technology of the Year award recognizes the outstanding achievements of an emerging leader in the field of digital media who has contributed to the development of the digital media industry by creating amazing content and technological innovations that are grabbing the attention of users in Canada and abroad.
For the CNMA to be looking back 10 years is quite an accomplishment. I can remember its first few years and, already, here we are at its tenth. Recognizing Canada’s top interactive talent and campaigns has enabled some of our brightest marketers, producers and developers to shine while showcasing creative technical feats.
