Close this window in order to return to the Creative Impulse Awards Site. The following is a text version of everything in our site, including the application and categories. If you want a hard copy containing the information on our site you should print this page. About UsThe 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. To learn more about the people behind the Impies, click here: www.creativeimpulsegroup.org RulesDeadline for submissions is May 15, 2010 One Project may be entered under multiple categories; separate entry fees will apply.
