Golden Penguin Awards Competition
The prestigious Golden Penguin Award winners are honored each year during the NFRA Convention Awards Luncheon. Top Marketer awards are announced for the first time during the event. These awards go to participants in all three promotions who submit entries of their merchandising and marketing efforts to NFRA. A panel of judges, including industry executives and qualified marketing professionals from accredited colleges and universities look for outstanding work in the various categories, and choose winners based on prominent use of the retail promotion logos, simply-stated goals and objectives of the display, retail support throughout various facets of the store and directing consumers to NFRA’s consumer website, EasyHomeMeals.com and/or Easy Home Meals social media platforms.
