Bronze Beacon Award winners will be notified in late July. The entrant’s name, as written on the entry form, will be inscribed on the award (maximum of 50 characters). For example: John Jones, or John Jones and Sally Smith, or The XXX Company Marketing Team. If multiple participants were involved in creating the entry and each is to receive an individual award, information about ordering additional awards will be available after the Awards Banquet in August.
