Winning a Content Marketing Award can help you increase credibility, shine among peers, and motivate your team. Here’s what makes this program different from others out there:

• Produced by the Content Marketing Institute: As the largest and longest-running international content marketing awards program, a win or finalist recognition is a stamp of expertise and credibility.
• Evaluated by Experts: Our judges are content marketers working in the field – and they take their jobs seriously. They evaluate each entry based on content marketing best practices and principles.
• Comprehensive Categories: Our 60+ categories cover every area of content marketing – strategy, distribution, editorial, and visual storytelling – to recognize the wide range of contributions from your team.
• Unparalleled Exposure: Our award winners are promoted to our 200,000+ subscribers and top winners are honored at Content Marketing World, providing unmatched opportunities to show off your work on a global stage.

Each category winner receives:

• Editorial coverage: Winners will be recognized in a press release, as well as across CMI’s websites, social channels, and newsletters, reaching more than 200,000+ subscribers.
