Project Summary (150 words or less)
Tell the story of your project. PROOF READ CAREFULLY before submitting, as the judges will be using this description in their evaluations of your project. Use the following questions to shape your summary: What did the client wish to accomplish? Were there any challenges to overcome? If so, how did you solve them? How did the final result meet expectations? Do not include references to your company name or other company identification.
**The photo sequence you select will match your project description. Some applicants select the photograph sequence first and write the narrative to match, and others write the narrative first and then select the photo sequence that best matches.**
Note: Please consider writing your summary in a way that can be read aloud if selected for a Gold award. Summaries will be edited for Gold Award voiceovers.
