Ad Club Creative Merit Awards Celebrate Communications Excellence on June 28, 2000

Springfield, MA - The Advertising Club of Western Massachusetts held the 2000 Creative Merit Awards (CMAs) on Wednesday, June 28, 2000 at CityStage at the S. Prestley Blake Theater in Springfield, MA.

The competition was open to any individual, agency, manufacturer, supplier, advertiser or student headquartered in western Massachusetts or northern Connecticut. Over 100 entries were received this year.

For the second year in a row, the Show was hosted by the comedy troupe Disturbed Theatre which delighted audiences with spoofs of commercials and edgy commentary on the present state of advertising and marketing communications.

The CMAs are the capstone of the Club's fiscal year which ends in August. The organization was founded by Charles A. Stein as the Publicity Club in 1909. Today, his efforts are remembered through the Charles A. Stein Best of Show Award. This year's recipient was Bassette Printing of Springfield for its entry "JVC Jazz Festival Poster."

For additional information, contact the Ad Club of Western Massachusetts at 413-736-CLUB.
