I’ve been entering our work into the US Agency awards for three years and the process is very smooth. I really appreciate the feedback from judges and supplemental resources to help finesse my entries. I also like that the system is very similar to the US Search Awards system and format, creating consistent experiences for those of us who enter both. I do wish the feedback was exportable into a word doc or something for easy storing since it does disappear from the system so quickly though. Josie Black Eversana
