OMMA Awards Nominations

The Online Media, Marketing and Ad (OMMA) Awards deadline is Friday Aug 27th. Although the entrants are mostly agencies, the judges are mostly client-side brand marketers. They do insist on campaign performance measurements (something agencies don't always have), and prefer campaigns that are well integrated with other channels - ie. offline:
