“Taking this competition online with omniContests provides us with an outstanding opportunity to promote this competition more widely, while improving the operation of the contest from the point of entry, through processing and judging,” stated APME’s Executive Director, Mark Mittelstadt.

Over the past 12 years, OMNI SG has established a reputation as the leading technology provider for the implementation of online award programs. omniContests provides the functionality and flexibility needed to accommodate the varied needs of organizations running competitions as small as a couple hundred entries, to competitions with tens of thousands of entries submitted each year.

The contest administrators can then view, manage, and support the status of each entry in real-time. Designated contest judges can then review and score the entries online. omniContests.com is currently being used worldwide by organizations such as the American Advertising Federation’s ADDY® Awards, the Newspaper Association of America’s Media Innovation Awards (MedIAs), the Direct Marketing Association’s Echo Awards, NY AMA’s Effie Awards, the Hearst Publishing competition, Hearst Honors, and Costco Warehouse’s International Photo contest.
