Hello hello dear CID Pro's
Some of you may already know about the CID Quality awards, but let me tell you a little more.
The CID Quality Awards were created to make CID related awards more accessible and fair and to be inclusive of all CID talent. In general, most awarders charge an amount to cover costs and is frequently also profitable for the awarder in some way.
Having declined offers due to the cost - with one costing nearly 700 Euro, the CID Quality Awards came to be.
Currently the awards will take place solely online with the award sent by email and posted online. The entire project relies on donations and sponsorship.
But!
There is a vision. A vision of what it could be based on the feedback and interactions of the past 3 weeks since this went live.
Recently I had 4 conversations with people from 3 countries who informed me that they wish to come to Amsterdam and attend a physical event.
So right now I'm conducting research and determining feasibility.
So I am adding a poll here.
Should we host a physical event and screen the awards live from there with an after party in Amsterdam?
0%Yes
0%No

You can vote for more than one answer.
Aside from that, I also need to see what kind of budget I can expect to work with, so here is the next poll.
How much would you be willing to spend?
0-100
101-200
201-300
301-400
And lastly for the travelers.
Would you be interested in a weekend package including after party, accomodation and a day of sight seeing?
0%Yes
0%No
So by these questions you can already tell a little bit about the scope of the dream.
Someone had an idea to request that their company pay for it and so I'm sharing that so that if you are thinking the same, you can let me know if that's an option.
Additionally, we will also be approaching bigger companies to see if they are interested in sponsoring and or collaborating. Do you or your company have potential to be added to this list? Get in touch. Any and all ideas can be considered.
The main awarding event will remain free and online, but that doesn't mean we cant have a physical accompanying event.
Another cool idea is to have some of the award winners give a talk or workshop. If you think this could be interesting for you, you know what to do.
Thank you for reading, and also for answering the poll if you have :)
Kind regards,
Candice
