Higher Education Marketing Report is proud to sponsor the Twenty-Fourth Annual Admissions Advertising Awards.

It was twenty-four year’s ago that this national competition began its efforts to recognize the field of admissions marketing and advertising. Today, the industry has matured into a sophisticated and competitive field, meeting the needs of knowledgeable prospects who are making their own educational decisions.

Winners have been announced in the Twenty-Fourth Annual Admissions Advertising Awards, sponsored by Admissions Marketing Report. The Admissions Advertising Awards is the largest educational advertising awards competition in the country. This year, over two thousand entries were received from more than one-thousand colleges, universities and secondary schools from all fifty states and several foreign countries.

Sixteen schools were recognized by the judges as a “Best of Show” winner. Gold awards were granted to two hundred and the thirty-nine schools and silver awards were awarded to two hundred and ten schools. Judges for the Admissions Advertising Awards consisted of a national panel of admissions’ marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals and the editorial board of Admissions Marketing Report.

Admissions Marketing Report has been for twenty-five years the nation’s leading marketing publication for higher education. The monthly publication is in its twenty-fifth year and is read each month by thousands of admissions marketers at colleges and universities throughout the country.

Recently the publication was renamed Higher Education Marketing Report to more appropriately reflect the expanding role of marketers at colleges and universities.

Awards and certificates will be given to those entrants whose programs and materials display exceptional quality, creativity and message effectiveness. Our judges will also present a select number of “Best of Show” awards. These are special commendations given to entrants whose work exhibits the highest standards of excellence.

A listing of the winners will be published in the March 2009 issue of Admissions Marketing Report. All entrants, both institution and agency, will receive a copy of this publication. Winners will also be posted on our web site on February 25, 2009. Following the contest, selection will take place for the Admissions Advertising Awards Yearbook and Video. The best entries will be compiled and available to purchase next year.
