Vikings and Packers Fans Come Together

The border battle between Vikings/Packers and Gophers/Badgers football fans can be set aside for another year! And besides, we’ve got Bret Favre now!
So let’s extend the olive-branch so to speak across the board and help out Minnesota’s sister chapter in Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee Chapter BMA is currently undergoing the planning process for their annual BMA Bell Awards and is seeking judges.
Having participated as a judge last year, I can tell you from personal experience how great the process is. In addition to being easy (aka online), judging gives you the opportunity to see how other organizations are addressing common challenges in creative ways.
Selfishly, it also gives you an opportunity to borrow ideas for use in future projects. In fact there is one idea borrowed from judging two-years ago that I continue to try to pitch to clients…. (Let’s hope someday I’ll get to do it).
My very favorite from last year was an agency promotion piece by Brand Connect, a division of Core Creative. Billed as “an eclectic collection of holiday recipes (you may or may not want to eat) – this wildly amusing print and online piece, provided not only holiday greetings to their clients, prospects and friends but also smiles. http://www.somethingtastesfunnycookbook.com/cookbook/
The judging process will be done through an on-line scoring system. Electronic scoring ensures much more flexibility, accuracy and reduces travel costs and time. To ensure the integrity of their program, it is necessary that BMA-Milwaukee reaches out to those around the country not associated with Milwaukee-based firms.
If you are interested in volunteering to judge, contact the person below for more information.
