Call for submissions: WFA President's Awards 2017

Global Marketer Week will provide the backdrop to the 2017 WFA President's Awards. The awards look to recognise association-led industry initiatives which have helped advance the marketers' agenda and made a real difference.

National advertiser associations which are members of WFA are invited to nominate programmes led by their organisations over the course of the last two years (2015 and/or 2016). These must be 'industry', rather than company-specific, and can cover areas related to best practice in marketing communications, audience measurement, advertising self-regulation, ethics in advertising, sustainability programmes and so on.

The initiatives will be evaluated by WFA President and RBS CMO David Wheldon and honoured during the WFA Gala Dinner on Thursday 27 April in Toronto. National advertiser associations wishing to submit entries should do so by 3rd March 2017. The submission form can be downloaded here.
