I went to the website of the Davey Awards mentioned in my last post. In 2007, in the Print/Collateral category alone, they had 153 gold award “winners.” For the silver awards—again, just in one category—I lost count somewhere after 400, and I was only in the M’s.
Why don’t they just say “Pay us an $85 entry fee and you can put the phrase ‘award-winning’ on all of your marketing materials!”
What a racket.

I thought of you recently when I got two Who’s Who invitations in the mail! One was from Cambridge Who’s Who and one was Biltmore WW. I have no idea how I got on this mailing list. I also imagine they would charge a fee if I responded.
