Denver Ad Club Launches Self-Esteem Fueled Award Show

NDAC-newmasthead.jpg

Well what do you know. Alex Bogusky Moves to Boulder and Denver launches a new ad club. And that’s not all. Properly following America’s march toward self esteem-fueled mediocraty where there are no winners and loser only proud participants, the New Denver Ad Club has kicked off an awards competition in which there are no golds, no silvers, no bronzes, no categories and no Cannes-like category shifting to please judges’ whimsy.

The only thing the 50 winners get is a slot in the Denver50 show book and a party at which much alcohol will be served. Entries are due August 10 although how one submits is a mystery given the Denver50 site doesn’t exist yet. Entries are limited to creatives living in Colorado when the idea was developed and must have appeared in media between January 1, 2006 and August 10, 2007.

Judges include:

Mike Byrne, CD and partner at Anomaly/NY
Kevin Roddy ECD at BBH/NY
Robert Rasmussen, CD at JWT/NY
Jason Zada, ECD and founder at EVB

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
