Judge’s Comments: As associations, we are indebted to our long-time contributors who have dedicated their lives mastering the industry in which they work and educating colleagues and up-and-comers along the way. Ms. Patti Harman, Editor-in-Chief of Cleaning & Restoration, wrote in her Commentary for this special tribute to Martin King, that she had hoped “this tribute expresses our heartfelt thanks and admiration for the impact he [King] has had on so many.” With touching imagery, and pages of personal messages throughout, we would say, Ms. Harman, you’ve nailed it.

Judge’s Comments: The International Association of Fire Fighters commemorative piece is a stand out. Its use of transparent papers, quotes, and haunting black and white imagery reflects the tragedy of 9/11 and celebrates the souls who perished in this world-changing event. The piece is purposeful and unique, and achieves its goal in that it is an informative, effective, and commemorative keepsake.

Judge’s Comments: This is a very detailed collection of events commemorating the association’s 75 years of existence and its growth. With organizational chronology, past presidents, awards, annual meetings, and public outreach example—mosquito control is captured for posterity. It has the feel of a yearbook. The unique treatment of the paper stock was a nice touch as were the archived photos.

Judge’s Comments: Congressman John Larson (CT-1), representing the city of Manchester, remembered the victims and called for a moment of silence on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. During his remarks, Rep. Larson said, “Eight men went to work that morning. Some of them followed in the footsteps of their fathers and brothers before them. This is a family business. Many of whom have served and worked in this family business for over 20 years.” By interweaving various images and video clips, the tribute highlights how the distributorship celebrated the victims’ lives and how the community persisted during a difficult time. Positioned as a tribute during NBWA’s 73rd Annual Convention General Session, there could not have been a no dry eye in the room. This is a great example of a tribute that delivers maximum value.
