NEW CATEGORIES:
THE PIVOT (AKA THE ROSS GELLER AWARD)
This award recognizes the fine art of turning on a dime to create COVID-19-inspired work that was relevant and effective without capitalizing on the crisis.
CANCELED BY COVID
Work that was thisclose to launch before hitting a big coronavirus-shaped wall gets its due in this category.
LOCAL FLAVOR
Whether it's promoting a locally based brand or celebrating the city itself, it’s all Fort Worth, all the time in this special category.
HOW IT STARTED / HOW IT’S GOING
Rebranding, repositioning or re-websiting (you know what we mean) gets recognized in this category, as long as you take us on the journey from there to here.
THE DO-OVER
This category lets you call a mulligan on work that you entered in the past that SHOULD have won something but didn’t. Because everything deserves a second chance.
