There was a thunderous response to the call for Best of NAMA entries with over 1440 submitted for Regional Judging on November 12th & 13th.  This is the  highest amount we have seen since 1999!

Thank you to every agency and company that submitted their best work for consideration.  Every submission strengthens local NAMA chapters and showcases the talent and vitality of NAMA members.

A special thanks to our 40 plus wonderful judges who participated in the judging process that took place at the Sheraton Crown Center in Kansas City.   This program could not be successful without their help and expertise.

We hope to see you at a regional or chapter banquet in January to see the results of your hard work.  Check out  https://www.namablog.org/?page_id=16 for banquet dates and locations.  Be sure to check back often as details are still being finalized.
