What are the UMAC awards?
The spirit of this competition is to celebrate excellence in communications and to recognize the achievements of UMAC members who played a key role in the creative process (writing, designing, producing, etc.). You are eligible to submit material for an award if you are a current member of UMAC and played a significant role in producing the communication material. Membership dues must be paid in full to be eligible to receive an award. Submissions and payment for all awards need to be completed online by the awards submission deadline date. All entries will be judged on meeting their stated purpose; content; creativity; execution; and regard for target audience, using a 50-point scale. Awards will go to first, second and third place winners of each category in each division, with one Best of Class award given per class.
