Bridal Show Producers International is excited to announce that the Advertising Award program has been expanded to represent a broader relation to overall bridal show production. In 2008 the awards program was renamed the BSPI Star Awards to better represent the expanded award categories.
BSPI Star Awards Criteria
- Each year the Board of Directors selects the categories.
- These categories and specific criteria may change from year to year.
- Entries are anonymously judged by a third-party panel to include experts in the respective categories.
- Entries must be made by April 1st to allow time for judging.
- An accounting firm will tabulate the winners and the sealed results will be announced at the BSPI Recognition Celebration in conjunction with the Annual Conference in May.
