The National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) Board of Directors is pleased to announce that its accepting applications for the 11th Annual NACMA Marketing Team of the Year Award presented by SuperFan powered by PrestoSports. 

The NACMA Marketing Team of the Year Award was created to recognize the teamwork and group efforts required to be successful in collegiate marketing. Teams may nominate themselves or be nominated by a supervisor or colleague. 

For the sixth year, the results of the NACMA "Best Of" Awards will be taken into consideration during the grading of the Marketing Team of the Year Award. "Best Of" gold winners will receive three (3) points per first-place finish, silver winners will receive two (2) points per second-place finish, and bronze winners will receive one (1) point per third-place finish.
