Congratulations! As a 2007 IDEA winner, you have exciting opportunities to promote your organization over the coming year. IDSA is honored to recognize outstanding design and to help promote you and your achievements.

Please take a minute to review some important press and promotion information. You can find links to specific forms on the left side, corresponding to the date these forms/orders are due. If you have questions, contact the person listed on that form. For your convenience, you can also get an overview of the promotional opportunities available to you.

I hope you will be able to join us at this year's IDEA ceremony on the closing night of the CONNECTING'07 ICSID/IDSA World Design Congress, October 20 in San Francisco, CA, followed by a party. We are planning a special presentation of all the winning designs, recognition of all the winners, with trophies presented onstage to Gold winners. A representative from BusinessWeek, the IDEA program's sponsor, will present the awards along with IDSA President Michelle Berryman, IDSA, and IDEA 2007 Jury Chair Ruth Soénius, IDSA.

Gold winners must pay particular attention to the deadlines and instructions for both the Yearbook case study and awards ceremony. Each Gold winner MUST write a case study and provide appropriate visuals. We realize the time commitment involved in writing a case study, so please read all the guidelines and contact us immediately if you have any questions. Gold winners are also asked to provide a 30-second video to be used during the ceremony, and you must let us know who will represent you to accept the award.

Thank you and again, congratulations!
