Anyone who knows me knows I love an awards ceremony (the Grammies being my favorite, followed by the Oscars when they don’t drag on too much). So I was really looking forward to the awards ceremony at IAFE.
I was particularly excited, because I had gone to Springfield in October to judge the marketing awards (but luckily had subsequently forgotten most of the winners, so it was like new again!). The branding for fairs is so fun, and I love the challenge of conveying the magic of the fair across all the different mediums.
One category, however, that I didn’t judge was websites. And so I was 100% surprised and honored when our websites won two awards!
Rodeo Austin took first place in their division for their website, and this was a particular honor since it was their second year in a row to win. I think this is a first, and we’re so grateful to be their partner!
Also, in a total surprise, Brazos Valley Fair & Expo took third place in their division. Not bad for an event that hasn’t even happened yet!
We appreciate the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining an event site, so we would like to congratulate all of the first place winners in the five divisions.
Division 5: Erie County Fair, NY
Division 4: Indiana State Fair
Division 3: Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo (Rodeo Austin)
Division 2: Clay County Agricultural Fair, FL
Division 1: Canyon County Fair, ID
Of course, it feels good to win, and we look forward to working with our clients to create even more award-winning websites next year!
