[QuadList] Quaddy Awards--Here are the nominees. Please vote by end of Monday, 10/19

[C. Park Seward]

Thanks to Dennis for the nomination. Much appreciated.

We may want to consider an award for the member of the group that has  
made important contributions to the group and then another award (like  
a Hall of Fame) for individuals who have contributed much to the  
industry at large. One award for service in the last year and one  
award for lifetime service to the industry.

For example, the six who invented the Quad would my first choice for a  
Hall of Fame.

I was a member of the Advertising Federation for many years and they  
had an award named after an ex-member that was given to the person who  
had done a lot for the group in that year and another award that was  
given for service to the advertising industry over a lifetime. Seemed  
to work well.

Best,
Park
