How would you like your work–whether a project, a campaign or a single tactic–to be featured among and then recognized by fellow local professionals? How would you like to honor someone who has made a great contribution to our profession? Well, the Best in Maryland (BIM) Awards gives you a chance to do just that. This year we have expanded our categories to reflect the changing world of PR and added two additional Professional of the Year Awards.
