 Premier industry award has new categories, gives readers voice in selection processNorthbrook, IL, October 5 -- UniformMarket News is now accepting entries for its annual UNIVATOR Awards, a program that honors the leading ideas, creations, services and innovators which have influenced the industry over the past year. Any company within the North-American uniform, corporate apparel, white goods, or promotional products markets, regardless of size, is eligible to enter. Past entrants will notice a number of improvements to this year's awards, including additional categories, a later award announcement date, increased publicity and marketing opportunities and, in a first, a chance for readers to make their own picks for a UNIVATOR. "The improvements should certainly add excitement, and will provide greater opportunities for companies to take home a UNIVATOR" said Rick Levine, publisher of UniformMarket News. Have Your Say with Readers' Choice In the past, companies have submitted their own works for consideration, and this option, of course, still exists. But the 2010 UNIVATOR now gives readers a chance to make their own picks, a first for the awards program. It's a way to add your voice to the selection process, and for manufacturers or dealers, an excellent opportunity to further cultivate relationships with customers or suppliers. So if you don't believe your company is UNIVATOR-worthy, why not nominate another? Simply mark the "Readers' Choice," category on the entry form, supply a few details and the staff at UniformMarket will take care of the rest. For the Editors' Choice, categories have been added to increase participation across the industry spectrum, and others have been redesigned to target specific market segments. The 2010 UNIVATOR includes, among others, several categories ideal for retailers and the white goods industry. For a complete listing of categories, click here. Don't see a category that suits your business profile? Then create one. UNIVATOR isn't governed by stringent entry rules or requirements. Categories evolve, and new divisions are added to better reflect the type of programs under consideration. This is, after all, a competition that honors creativity. Out-of-the-box thinking is strongly encouraged. Now in its sixth year, the UNIVATOR Awards place the acclaim and attention where it belongs – with you, the manufacturers, distributors and designers who have time and again proved proactive in thought and accomplishment, even in tough economic times such as these. By giving your concepts the exposure they deserve, UNIVATOR pays tribute to your achievements, and is an acknowledgment of a job well done. Widely popular and well regarded, the awards, quite simply, are the industry's highest honor. Limitless Publicity, Marketing Opportunities Companies have limitless opportunities to garner the attention they deserve with UNIVATOR. In March, UniformMarket News will reveal Readers' Choice and Editors' Choice winners, in a special online issue devoted to honorees. Featuring in-depth coverage, photos and interviews, this unique commemorative issue will remain on the UniformMarket site in perpetuity, a lasting tribute to award winners. UniformMarket News will issue a press statement to media outlets, furthering the exposure and broadening your reach. A full length article will also run in the print edition of Halper Publishing's Made to Measure, the magazine industry insiders turn to first for the latest trends and market reports. Winners will also receive a visible sign of their achievement. Handsome plaques, suitable for prominent display in your store or corporate headquarters, will be awarded to all. "There is visionary work being done despite the economy, with many companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible," said Levine. "These innovators deserve attention, and it is an honor to bring their efforts to the forefront for all to see." To be eligible for a UNIVATOR, companies must complete an entry form and send supporting materials no later than Friday, January 8, 2010.
