DIGI Awards, Open for Entries

As Chair of the Judges Committee for the DIGI Awards, I’m in charge of the industry's most established, most recognized, and most comprehensive program for recognizing the resellers, integrators and service providers who have gone the extra mile to ensure success for their clients, thereby furthering the digital signage and DOOH industry as a whole. Additionally, we recognize the best New Products for the digital signage market. The DIGI Awards are now officially open for entries. Deadline for entry is October 16, 2012. The DIGI Awards is the only industry award program that recognizes the outstanding integrators, content providers and also this year–product manufacturers–focusing on digital signage.

There are three master categories for this year's DIGI Awards:

• New Products (for the Digital Signage market) - this category is for product manufacturers to enter their new hardware or software products for digital signage

• Applications (completed, real-world design/installation of digital signage systems, including hardware, software, connectivity, etc) - this category is for integrators, installation companies, or end-users to enter interesting or innovative digital signage applications they were involved in

• Content (actual digital content produced for a client–text, messaging, and/or video–that runs on a digital signage system); this category is for Content creators/designers, or the end-users of that content, to enter.

Please select the Category below, that best describes your Entry. Click on that Category, and follow the instructions to Enter.
