The Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring the creative excellence for communications professionals, with over 9000 entries submitted from across the US and around the world.

The Communicator Awards are judged and overseen by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), a 200+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media. Current IAVA membership represents a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms including: Condè Nast, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, Fry Hammond Barr, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Victoria’s Secret, Wired, Yahoo!, and many others. See www.iavisarts.org for more information.

“The incredible quality and diversity of this year’s entries was an inspiration to the academy and all of our judges. The work reflected the rapidly changing media landscape as the growing amounts of interactive work submitted pushed the limits of the medium, and the quality of the traditional work submitted was again remarkable., noted Linda Day, director of the IAVA. She added, “On behalf of the entire Academy, we are honored to have judged the 14th Annual Communicator Awards and we are proud to honor the best in creativity and execution from the foremost communications professionals in the business.”

NIA Creative's Managing Director, Jennifer Finetti, notes "Each year, awards programs get more and more competitive, which makes it even more exciting to be honored. It also reaffirms for us and our clients that we have an outstanding creative team that continues to up the ante by delivering innovative and compelling marketing solutions."
