The Canadian New Media Awards (CNMAs), the country's only nationwide competition recognizing the accomplishments of Canada's most successful digital media companies, is open for nominations.
The CNMAs are Canada's leading digital media awards, honouring excellence in online and mobile content. Established in 2000, the CNMAs were created as a tribute to the outstanding digital content emanating from Canada.
Reflecting the tremendous growth of the Internet, the 10th annual CNMAs look to pay tribute to the incredible creative and technological achievements of those working in the digital space.
"Canada is a hotbed of digital innovation," Mark Greenspan, executive producer of nextMEDIA, said in a release. "Last year's nominees and award recipients truly represented the best in digital media and we look forward to discovering fresh talent from leading-edge companies."
New categories have been added to the awards competition. The CNMAs gala awards will be held November 30, 2010 at The Design Exchange in Toronto.
