vwa | see see eye Judges International Competition

ATLANTA, GA – July 27 – vwa | see see eye, a graphic design firm specializing in investor design communications, was selected once again to judge the world’s premier annual report competition, the MerComm Annual Report Competition (ARC).

This is the fifth year vwa | see see eye has been asked to judge the distinguished competition.  vwa | see see eye has been honored with over 32 awards in the competition, including 12 Gold Awards, and 4 Grand Awards. Only the top entries receive Gold Awards, qualifying them to compete for a Grand Award.

For 23 years, the ARC Awards has provided a platform for the highest standards in the annual report industry. Judges from around the globe participate on the ARC jury panels. Each annual report is judged against itself, based on its success in communicating its company’s story. Judging is based on effectiveness, clarity and creativity, not corporate profitability or production techniques.

In 2008, the competition received nearly 2,100 entries from 28 countries. The 2009 awards will be presented during a gala ceremony on September 17th in New York City. All winners will join a permanent collection of ARC Award-winning annual reports at the Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe (Museum of Art and Commerce) in Hamburg, Germany.
