mercury awards ballot
What are the Mercury Awards?
The Mercury Awards is our awards program honoring advertising professionals in
- sales and support professions including
- ad specialists,
- media types and
- vendors, i.e.
- those who are not recognized by the Hermes, which is a creative competition
How ARE the winners chosen?
- Only members of the Greater Dayton Advertising Association and Dayton Creative Syndicate may nominate.
- Individuals nominated do not have to be GDAA or DCS members.
- All nominees in each category will be recognized with the top vote getter winning the Mercury Award for that category.
- Again, only members can nominate, but those nominated do not have to be members.
Who is Mercury?
Mercury is the Roman god who was the messenger to the gods and is also considered the Roman god of advertising. He is comparable to the Greek god of advertising, Hermes, whose name is used for our creative competition.
How to Nominate
- MEMBERS, HERE IS YOUR BALLOT. Only Ad Association and Creative Syndicate members may nominate. Anyone who joins either organization (with payment) before the deadline may nominate.
- You do NOT have to nominate someone in every category, but may do so in only the categories where you have dealings.
- Only one nomination per category may be made by you. However, if you haven't voted in certain categories already, you may vote in other categories until the deadline.
- The Rep of the Year winner is the person with the most total nominations across all categories.
- Those nominated do not know who nominated them, unless the member gives permission. If you would like your nominees to know, please check the box on the ballot.
- The e-mail address you supply for your nominees is merely so we may contact them about their nomination. They will not be added to our e-mail list unless they request it, as it's opt-in only.
