“I think the EMPixx Award is an excellent competition. The award itself is extremely clever, and I gather that it is rapidly becoming one of the most coveted awards in the industry. Everyone always remarks about how unique the award is, and I am proud to display them.


“I am also extremely appreciate of the judges comments that appear with the winning notice. It is rare that you are able to find out what the judges like – or didn’t like – in an awards competition

“I like the fact that you send a score and judges feedback with your awards. I haven’t seen that before. Thank you.

“The comments were given with explanations. We looked at them as “constructive criticism,” and we have taken them as a learning experience that will help us improve our work.”
