2010 Pollie Award Categories
Hailed as the "Oscars of Political Advertising" the Pollies represent those engaged in the business of politics. With 238 categories the Pollie Awards offers an opportunity for both political consulting and public affairs professionals to achieve recognition. To win a Pollie is to be recognized by the brightest in the industry as the best. Winners, selected by a panel of their peers (judges) representing the industry's best campaigning experts, will be announced at the 19th Annual Pollie Awards in Phoenix, AZ. Winners represent the latest talent and techniques in this 8 billion dollar industry.
The 2010 Pollie Awards Contest will be awarded in four divisions:
- Candidate Campaigns: Work created for a Candidate Campaign.
- Ballot/initiative Campaigns: Work created for a Ballot/Initiative Campaign.
- Public Affairs Campaigns: Work Created for a Public Affairs Campaign
- Overall Campaigns: Work created for a Candidate, Ballot/Initiative or a Public Affairs Campaign.
