We would like to inform you about an important change of the selection procedure for the Audio Branding Award 2013 in Moscow:

An excellent jury consisting of last year’s nominees will select the six best case studies in the field of audio branding to be showcased at the 2013 Audio Branding Congress in Moscow. Next to the three categories GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE awarded exclusively by the expert jury there will be an additional AUDIENCE award chosen by popular vote of the Congress participants.

Changes written in bold below.
