STEP 2: CHOOSE THE CORRECT CATEGORIES
/>The ADMA Awards are divided into Effectiveness and Creative sections. There are a total of 30 categories that can be entered. Each category is clearly articulated with a description of what type of work is eligible. Please take care to select the appropriate category as while ADMA reserves the right to reassign entries to an alternative category if deemed incorrectly entered, incorrectly entered work may also be disqualified.
