Overview Now entering their ninth year, the 2012 NSF ADchievement Awards will be presented January 30 - February 1, 2012, at the 2012 National Sports Forum in Oklahoma City. This is your opportunity to pit your organization’s advertising against the best and most effective in the sports industry – giving you a chance to potentially “take a bow” in front of the entire industry, and be recognized as the leader in our business!
The NSF ADchievement Awards are not limited to professional sports teams. Each year, major league teams, minor league teams, as well as colleges enter; but also non-profit organizations, players' associations, advertising agencies, retail stores, and pharmaceutical companies have participated. If you used sports in your advertising, you're eligible!
Last year, more than five hundred submissions were entered into the competition from teams, universities, and agencies, with the Greenville Drive taking home the top honor for the second straight year with a fantastic overall campaign. Categories
Finalists in each category will be determined by an independent group of Southern California advertising experts, and attendees at the 2012 National Sports Forum will vote to determine the winners of each category. The independent group of advertising experts will determine the NSF ADchievement Overall Award of Excellence winner prior to the conference through a quantitative scale. All organizations are automatically entered for the Overall Award of Excellence, but the more categories you enter, the better chance you'll have of winning.
A representative from the organization that wins the Overall Award of Excellence will be brought out (all expenses paid) to the 2012 National Sports Forum in Oklahoma City to receive the award live, in front of the entire industry.
Below are the eight categories:
