Sarah Ward, CEO of the Giftware Association said, “We are incredible excited about this year’s competition and after the year we have had we want it to be the best year yet and really show of the creativity and innovativeness of our industry that has been somewhat suppressed over the last few months. The competition needed to grow and the new website will allow us to develop on new areas of the competition for the benefit of those that enter.â€
Chris Workman, PR & Marketing Manager of The GA added, “The new website was much needed in terms of user experience for the entrants’ as well as the judges. The judges will now be able to favorite products directly from the judging process and entrants will be able to upload more images, videos and links to their sites furthering their opportunities with the retailers and buyers that judge the competition.â€
