Recognizing the cable industry's best practices in multi-cultural and ethnic targeted marketing, the competition comprises two elements: Case Studies/Campaigns and Marketing Tactics including Direct Mail, Diversity Awareness, Digital, Experiential Marketing, Grassroots, Out of Home, Premium, Print, Radio, Social Media, Television, and All Other Media. Entries submitted in each element are judged within two divisions of competition: Cable Distributors and Networks/Industry Suppliers. Marketing efforts targeting one or more cultural segments, including but not limited to African-American, Asian and Hispanic markets, that were executed between June 1, 2011 and May 31, 2012 are eligible.

The Excellence in Multi-cultural Marketing Awards are presented exclusively in partnership with CableFAX Daily. A judging panel of industry marketing experts will evaluate all entries and select winners. Sound and innovative strategy, strength of creative execution against the strategy, evaluations of strategy, implementation and results are among the areas that will be assessed. Deviating from the traditional "best of" competition method, each entry will be judged against a standard of excellence and not against other entrants, resulting in the potential for zero to multiple winners in each category.

For complete eligibility information, detailed judging criteria, to submit digital entries, and to view a highlight reel of past EMMA winners, visit http://emmacompetition.com. Information regarding the 26th Annual NAMIC Conference or inquiries pertaining to sponsorship should be directed to Sandra Girado, director of Meetings and Events, NAMIC at 212-594-5985.
