This year, a Task Force was formed to take a look at various elements of the Best of NAMA program. Specifically these elements were the Judging Process, the Ceremony and the Awards themselves. <\/p>\nThis year, a Task Force was formed to take a look at various elements of the Best of NAMA program. Specifically these elements were the Judging Process, the Ceremony and the Awards themselves. <\/p>\n
One of the changes adopted is how the Best of Show winners are recognized. The winners and Best of Show winners will be presented at the Best of NAMA Ceremony that kicks off the 2006 Agri-Marketing Conference & Trade Show, April 19-21 in Kansas City. <\/p>\n
Winners in the 69 categories will be featured in the April issue of Agri Marketing<\/em> magazine. Traditionally the Best of Show winners would be featured in the April issue, but not this year. To heighten the element of surprise the Best of Show winners will be featured in the June issue. Task force participants felt that if Best of Show winners were interviewed prior to the ceremony it took away from the award. So, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get a call from Agri Marketing<\/em> in March, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t win Best of Show. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just have to attend the April 19 ceremony to find out.<\/p>\n
