The content marketing industry’s most heralded awards program has broadened its criteria this year so that the individuals who are responsible for innovative design, strategy and execution, along with the top print and digital publications, can be recognized among their peers.

Submissions for The Content Council’s prestigious Pearl Awards, celebrating excellence in content marketing across print, digital and multi-media platforms, are now being accepted. Content Marketers - small and large; B2B and B2C; representing clients in a wide range of industries; and producing programs across multiple outlets – have had the honor of winning a Pearl Award over the last decade.

Adding a new tradition to the event, nominations are now being accepted for three new individual awards: Best Content Director, Best Creative Designer and Rising Star.

“We’re looking forward to celebrating yet another year of exceptional content,” said Andy Seibert, Chairman of The Content Council and Managing Partner at Imprint. “Promoting excellence and innovation in the industry is very important to our organization, and we’re excited to recognize content marketing groundbreakers with our three new individual awards.”

Entries, which can be submitted electronically here through September 9^th, will be judged by an esteemed team of content marketing experts in five cities across the country: Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Winners will be announced and celebrated at a prestigious ceremony on Tuesday, November 11^th at Apella in New York City.
