The Web Marketing Association judges will select the best online video advertising in 86 industries as part of their 12th annual Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The IAC Awards are the first and only industry-based advertising award competition dedicated exclusively to online advertising. Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their work for consideration may do so at www.IACAward.org<\/a>before the deadline of January 31, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnline video has exploded in popularity over the past few years as a form of advertising and it looks like this trend is likely to continue,\u201d said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association.  \u201cVideos can be standalone viral projects, serials, or page-based creative. Each online video ad will be judged on creativity, innovation, impact, design, copywriting, and use of the medium. The IAC Awards provides an opportunity to find out who is doing an outstanding job creating online video. Winning awards is also a great marketing opportunity for the winners to promote their work to senior management, customers and prospects\u201d.<\/p>\n

 \u201cWe believe that winning an industry specific award is more valuable to the participant.  It allows the participants to be judges against their peers, just like in the marketplace,\u201d said Rice.
