Healthcare reporting: 2011 Global Awards announces call for entries
NEW YORK, US: The Global Awards, now in its 17th year of honouring creative and marketing excellence in healthcare communications worldwide, announced the Call For Entries for the 2011 competition.
The competition receives entries from healthcare corporations, hospitals, advertising agencies, production companies, and design studios producing communications for medical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare related products.
The Global Awards has a broad range of categories and the competition is continually updating its categories to reflect the current trends in the healthcare industry. In 2011, the competition streamlined its categories based on entries and relevancy, while also adding important new categories last year, such as Animal Healthcare, Allergies, and Computer Generated Graphics.
The 2011 Global Awards will honour award-winners at celebrations held in Sydney, Australia and New York City, USA in late November.
