ADP’s annual competition is open to all its Publisher members that believe their company’s directory products and marketing concepts are among the best the Directory Publishing industry had to offer in the past year. Association Publishers can submit one entry in each category in both the Directory and the Marketing Divisions. To increase their chances of being named Publisher of the Year, members are encouraged to submit an entry in each category.

Publisher members need to assess each Division’s categories to determine which ones their company should enter. There are six categories in the Directory Division and six in the Marketing Division. Both Divisions’ Criteria for Judging, Entry Requirements and Submission Information can be viewed by clicking on the CATEGORIES tab.

The ADP Directory Excellence Awards fee is $50 per entry with a maximum of $350 paid for the total number of entries. This means instead of paying $600, you’ll get a savings of $250. Please submit your registration form by March 10, 2023.
