The Digital Screenmedia Association held its DSA Crown Awards this week on the first evening of the Customer Engagement Technology World show in New York, broken down by the context and by content budget size.

The judges were, yay, people who actually know content and interactive: Manolo Almagro of TPN, Michael Chase of St. Joseph Content, Paul Flanigan of DSA, Pat Hellberg of something called The Preset Group, Keith Kelsen of 5th Screen and Anne White of HypeHouse. One of my tired rants has to do with awards being judged by trade journalists who’ve never opened After-Effects or run a deployment. So clap-clap-clap for the DSA getting qualified judges.
