Last call for the Boston AdClub's Hatch Awards!

Agencies and individuals have only until Friday, May 2, to submit entries for the 2014 Hatch Awards for excellence in creative branding and marketing. Eligible parties include freelancers, agencies, design studios, broadcasters, publishers and production houses. 

Nominations are currently being solicited for 71 categories across a wide range of media, from best "Advertising for Clients with Media Budget Less Than $20,000 Campaign" to best "Packaging and Point-of-Purchase Campaign." 

To be eligible, the creative idea must have been hatched, so to speak, in New England, with the finished product debuting between May 1, 2013, and June 1, 2014. An idea can only be submitted for up to two single-entry categories and one campaign-entry category. All entries must be submitted digitally through the AdClub's Web site.

Winners will be announced on Nov. 6 during a ceremony at the House of Blues in Boston.
