The Digital Screenmedia Association will announce the gold, silver and bronze winners of the DSA Crown Awards on day one of next week's Customer Engagement Technology World show in New York City.
The winners in the categories of Point of Sale, Point of Wait and Point of Transit will be announced during the "DSA Party @ CETW," held Nov. 7 aboard the Duchess Yacht, as it cruises around Manhattan the first night of CETW. The Crown Awards recognize excellence in digital out-of-home content.

"Last year's entries were great, and this year's are even better," DSA Executive Director David Drain said today. "We introduced new subcategories based on budget — over $10,000 and under $10,000. We wanted to highlight the fact that you don't always have to have a big budget to make great content. We also saw an increase in the number of entries which featured interactive content. Our hope is that these awards inspire the industry to create great, engaging content."

Judges for the DSA Crown Awards included Michael Chase of St. Joseph Content, Paul Flanigan of Pro-Motion Technology Group, Pat Hellberg of The Preset Group, Jim Kealy of 2hemispheres, Keith Kelsen of 5thScreen and author of "Unleashing the Power of Digital Signage," and Anne White of HypeHouse.
While some of the judges came from companies that also had entries up for awards, those who did, did not judge their own company's submission, and in fact one judge's project did not make the cut, Drain said.
