    The Aging Media Network (AMN) Aspect Awards is a competition and marketing event that showcases innovative and dynamic marketing and advertising campaigns across the post-acute and senior care space.

Entrants may be featured as nominees in announcements and stories that run on AMN’s publications bringing recognition to the organizations and firms/agencies that helped bring the project to life.

    This program is a way to market and showcase your organization or your work for your client. Entrants look at programs such as this as a means to showcase their expertise and talents to the industry.

  • What if my project does not fit within the behavioral health, home health and home care, hospice and palliative care, senior housing/living or skilled nursing categories?

    If your submission does not fit exactly to one of those industries, you may choose to submit the one that fits closest if you would like. For questions, email us at awards@agingmedia.com.

No exceptions. Additionally, the PowerPoint file should be less than 50MB in file size. We advise that you size your images at no less than 400px W (length can be variable to image) at 72dpi resolution.
