The Rx Club 22nd Annual Call for Entries
   Deadline August 14, 2008

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got no bling.

Yo, Ad peeps. If your office space could use shiny new bling, then kick it into high gear and show us your goods. The battle is on for a massive stash of gold and silver eye candy, plus a whole heap of excellence. First, check out these handy tips.

Dos and don'ts of bling:

Iced–out chains – Nothing impresses a client like 200 or 300 shiny gold chains hanging around your neck. Welcome back Mr. T! Just make sure not to get them tangled up in the copy machine.

Grillz – Maintaining your über cool look can be a grind; so let dazzling grillz do the work for you. Careful not to blind your coworkers with your dental diorama. Respect.

Dope outfit – Show up to the office in some Snoop Dogg–inspired threads guaranteed to get your coworkers' jaws talking. They'll be like "whoa," and you'll be like "whoa," and they'll be like "whoa" back. Shiny threads can be hazardous, so keep at least 20 feet away from flamethrowers. Pants that actually touch your waist will be considered an insult.

Bling rings – If your cube farm is way too beige, maybe it's because your fingers are bare as a bone. Splurge on some fresh finger flash. If they give you caveman posture, just remember it's all part of your blingage attitude.

Shine on, you crazy diamond – You can't fake the funk if your ears aren't loaded with plat. Top up fashion people. That's what I'm talking about. Delish.

Superbad attitude – Can't spring for bling? Not to worry. Apply your boffin' skills to conjuring up more flashy ad concepts like the ones you've become famous for. Legend. Then ship them off to the illustrious diva of Rx, and cross your bling fingers, if you can.

Eligibility: The Rx Club will honor work in print, electronic media, and video in the service of healthcare. Entries must have been printed, published, or created for the first time between June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008. To read about the requirements for the show, please go here:
Show Information

A fee of $100 per company will be assessed for entries received after the deadline.

Location: The show will take place at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W 18th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenue), 5th floor, New York City. Opening night is Thursday, November 13, 2008. Admission will be by invitation only.

Awards: Winners of the Gold, Silver, and the Awards of Excellence will be notified by e–mail. The winning entries will be displayed on opening night of the exhibition.

All information is entered directly into The Rx Club database. Agencies are responsible for providing correct information. Images of work will be used by The Rx Club for identification for the book and awards.

All changes must be recorded in our database. We cannot be responsible for missing information.

Once entries are submitted online, print the completed forms and attach them to the entry/entries mailed for judging. Please send printed hard copies and/or dimensional samples after uploading your images online. Judges will only view hard copies of your submissions (except for interactive entries). Original printed pieces are best for viewing. Entrants must provide a back-up piece for hanging. All booklets and brochures should be sent as the original samples.

A special award, called the "Carveth's Way" Award, to honor Carveth Kramer and his unique approach to solving creative problems will be presented for the third year to the single Rx Club entry that most embodies the "out of the box" thought process, a hallmark of Carveth Kramer's approach to creativity. The winning entry will be selected for its unique approach, concept, and quality of execution.

Notification of Show Acceptance: The acceptance letter will include the names of the winning entries for The Rx Club Web site and mounting instructions for the exhibition. We will need only a one-time upload of your submission(s) this year. In order to receive your award(s), you must resubmit your winning entries with the additional hanging and Web site fees for inclusion in the 2008 show.

Pharmaceutical Executive magazine will be our cosponsor for the 9th year and will publish the Gold and Silver winning entries in the November 2008 issue.
