An award-winning project must: be designed for the attendees keeping in mind the objectives that want to be achieved and create a long lasting impression.

My advice to the nominees: The so sought after WOW effect is not given only by an amazing production. The soul of an event is the full experience tailored to the audience and the objectives. If you have made it to the nominations, you have already achieved that.
