For this year’s contest, the Innovation Award and Chairman’s Award will once again be presented.
Innovation Award: This rewards innovation in media. Nominees may submit for this but don't have to for consideration. Judges will consider the award winners and other nominees to select a winner that demonstrated true innovation.
Chairman's Award: A “Best in Show” award. Nominees don't submit specifically for this. The commission considers the award winners and selects one that goes above and beyond the others.
Winners of those categories get a plaque, $50 Emblem Sales credit and a seat on the TALMA task force for the coming year.
The TALMA task force will select the winners and submit their selections to the National Media & Communications Commission for final approval during Spring Meetings.
