2008 ACE Critique & Awards Program
The annual ACE Critique & Awards Program is designed to help ACE members and other communicators achieve professional excellence through constructive criticism and to recognize those individuals who exhibit excellence in their work. The emphasis of this program is on “critique,” with entries evaluated on content, effectiveness, creativity and technical production. Critique & Awards is open to anyone who has produced communications projects or programs within the past year for an organization in the public sector. With the exception of entries submitted to the diversity category, non-English entries must provide an English translation. Entries that were produced or received by the intended audience between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007, are eligible for the 2008 program. Entries for the 2008 C&A Program must arrive at Headquarters by January 25, 2008, to be eligible.
The Award of Excellence
