Media Awards
All entries must be postmarked by July 3, 2009!
The Florida Festivals and Events Association’s mission is to promote and strengthen the festival, event and fair industry in Florida through education, networking, dissemination of information, and the cultivation of high standards for the industry.
We strongly feel that we do this through the FFEA SUNsational Awards Program, which recognizes its member’s innovation, individuality and creative collaboration. Events, event suppliers, and associations can enter.

Suppliers and Associations
NEW this year, there are non-event categories for suppliers or associations that service the event industry (i.e. sponsors, convention and visitor bureaus, hotels, etc.)!

Judging
Entries are judged by professionals in their fields of radio, television, photography, website development, promotions, graphics, advertising, public relations, marketing, and special event production.
The FFEA Media Awards entries are judged through a point system based on the criteria listed for each category.
Two awards (one for each budget category) will be awarded in each award category, unless, in the opinion of the judges, no award is merited. The judges reserve the right to give multiple awards in a category if scores are tied.
Cost
The entry fee for each entry is $12. Please mail your entry fees with your entries.
