To Help Your Projects Get the Recognition They Deserve

For many of us, Golden Triangle Awards deadlines come in the midst of fiscal year deadlines and summer vacations.  To help you plan ahead and prepare for your entries, we’ll be including some tips and reminders in each monthly member update and adding to this page of our website.

Think GTA All Year Long
Start a GTA folder (or box) in your office. When you are working on a noteworthy brochure, report or media campaign, put 2 copies of each news release, media report or printed piece in the box. When a new website is complete, make a DVD and include it. This will avoid rushing around for samples later on.

Select Your Categories with Care
An abundance of entries in any one category can cause highly rated entries to drop out of the four winning spots, and not get a prize. Consider competing in the less popular categories to improve your chances.
