This year we tried something new - a shift in technology to showcase our entries, streamline the process for everyone, and create a viewing experience like we've never had before. Following a 2.0 theme, we went completely electronic, including a panel of esteemed judges who reviewed nearly 300 entries through a custom-built virtual judging portal.

The big finale was held on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at The Italian Community Center, where over 300 guests experienced our 2.0 theme and watched it unfold before their very eyes.

Our Best of Show winner was Nelson Schmidt for their "Paid by ADP" campaign for ADP Small Business Services. Johnson Controls and agency Marx McClellan Thrun won the People's Choice award for the "Think Customer" campaign. We congratulate all of our winners in both Bell and Excellence categories!
