Prism Awards submission entries are open and you know what that means: time to start rallying the teams to get your best and brightest work ready to shine. Over the last few years, we’ve updated our process to help make submissions easier and to offer more opportunity to submit — but we know you might still have questions. In this workshop, three AMA Lincoln board members (who have all put together winning Prism entries in the past) will walk through what it takes to assemble a winning submission.

You’ll learn:

• Getting started- what info you need, and when
• Putting together a winning entry; what separates Prisms from Sterlings
• What’s next?
