Da-da-da-da!  (That’s supposed to be a trumpet sound, btw.)

The e-envelopes please, because it is time to announce the winners of the 2013 Broadway Marketing Awards, as chosen by you!

We received more votes this year than Broadway Box sends email blasts, which proves how much of an interest there is in what the marketers and advertisers in our biz do.  And that’s cool!  Maybe one day, our BMA’s will have their own fancy luncheon or awards show too!

Enough jibber-jabber . . . here is the list of all the nominees, as chosen by our cracker jack nominators, with the winners in bold!

Da-da-da-da!  (More trumpets and one french horn . . . )
