IAEM Picks Its Art of the Show Winners

Staff -- Tradeshow Week, 10/4/2004

Marketing Design Group and MAGIC Marketplace February 2004 won Best of Show in the Intl. Assn. for Exhibition Management's annual Art of the Show contest.

Graphic designer and Art of the Show judge Barry Whitewater said the winning entry, which also happened to be a first place winner in the exhibitor brochure category, was chosen for its strong creative concept. "The die cut cover was a nice accent, as were the spot varnishes all throughout the brochure," Whitewater said.

Marketing Design Group's piece for MAGIC was chosen from a field of 25 first-place winners for the Best of Show recognition.

The contest recognizes excellence in promotional materials for the exhibition industry and includes 12 different categories of competition spanning three show sizes. First-place entries will be on display at the IAEM Annual Meeting and Expo! Expo! Dec. 1–3 in San Antonio.
