Funny thing about
genuine creativity
99% of it goes
unrecognized
The Creative
Impulse Awards are
here to rewrite
that ratio
ABOUT US
The Creative Impulse
Awards ("The Impies") pick up where other award
competitions fall short. The Impies exist purely and
simply to recognize the creative spark: wherever, however,
and from whomever it chooses to glow. They exist to
appreciate the art in commerce, the elegance of design,
and the beauty inherent in performance.
Did it "sell?" Do we care?
It might surprise you to
learn that the Creative Impulse Group, author of The
Impies, is not comprised of bean counters. We are instead
leading professionals drawn from a multitude of creative
disciplines. We know how hard you work to put inspiration
to paper, commit it to song, launch it to cyberspace,
or otherwise bring it to life.
We think it's high time you
were recognized for it.
ENTER THE CREATIVE IMPULSE
AWARDS
Out of thin air. That's where
great ideas come from.
If you are in any way responsible
for engendering visual, written, or spoken communication
where none previously existed, you are by definition
creative ? and what you've created is worthy of recognition
and a much wider audience.
What's eligible?
Anything you worked on in 2007.
Whatever best shows off your
creative spark is eligible for Impie consideration,
including creative work in its unfinished form. Enter
early, and enter often.
Deadline for submissions
is May 15, 2008

your creative spark is eligible for Impie consideration,
including creative work in its unfinished form. Take
our Complete Impie Category Tour, then
enter early, and enter often.
Impie Awards have been
crafted to reflect the quality of work created by its
winners. That said, it is the philosophy of The Impies
to make participation accessible to the greatest number
of people by keeping entry fees low. Therefore, if Excellence
and Distinction award winners wish to formally commemorate
their achievements with an etched award suitable for
presentation, they will be charged $130. (Duplicate
certificates and awards are available at an additional
charge.) All winners will receive a foil-stamped certificate
at no additional cost.
We recognize that entrants expect
award notification in a timely fashion. All entrants
will be notified by mail within forty (40) days of the
entry deadline. The Impie of Excellence Hall of Winners
will be listed at the Impies Awards site and in next
year's Call for Entries.
Judges of the 2007 Impie
Awards give each entry a grade. Those projects awarded
an aggregate ninety-five points and above receive Excellence
Awards; those garnering eighty-six to ninety-four points
Distinction Award; and those with eighty to eighty-five
points will win Honorable Mention.
Judges of the 2007 Impie Award
are drawn from top professionals in communications,
the media, the arts, business, and entertainment.
