New Categories in ST International Sign Contest

Two new categories of the Signs of the Times International Sign Contest are Best Original Design by a Sign Company and Electronic Message Centers/Mixed Media Displays. These new categories were added to reflect the changes in the kinds of signs companies are selling.

Best Original Design by a Sign Company is a category open to either commercial or electric signs. Developed to rule out signs designed by clients or design firms (though fabricated and installed by signshops), this category is intended to be a “leveler of the playing field,” giving small, commercial shops an equal chance against national, full service companies fabricating big electric signs.

Electronic Message Centers/Mixed Media Displays is a category intended to include the increase of EMCs, while at the same time considering displays that combine digital and other facets.

Please direct any questions about these new categories, or any aspect of the contest to Mark.Kissling@stmediagroup.com.
