Canadian Agri-Marketing Association - CAMA Award

The 2007 Western Canada Farm Progress Show was honored with seven awards – five “Awards of Excellence” (winners) and two “Awards of Merit” (runners-up) by the Canadian Agri-Marketing Association (CAMA). CAMA is a network of agricultural marketing professionals located in five Canadian provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec). The organization holds an annual awards ceremony recognizing marketing achievements in agricultural products, services and programs.

Of the seven awards received, Farm Show took “Best of Show – Marketing & Advertising Campaigns”, the top award handed out by CAMA. It recognizes the overall marketing achievements of an entire advertising campaign prepared and implemented within the past year. Competition in this category would have included several high-profile agricultural advertising agencies in Canada so this was a significant achievement for the show, as all of its marketing is done in-house by Evraz Place staff.
