DIGI Awards Last Call for Entries

DIGI Awards Last Call for Entries
  • Due to the megastorm and ensuing damage and disruption on the east coast of the U.S. (including power and server disruptions at Manhattan-headquartered NewBay Media last week) the deadline for entry in the DIGI Awards – the only industry award program that recognizes the outstanding integrators, content providers and also this year product manufacturers focusing on digital signage– was extended to November 15th, 2012. As a courtesy to companies still uploading supporting files to the DIGI platform, entries received by end of day Friday, November 16th will be eligible.

• 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.
