Following two comprehensive rounds of scoring by more than 100 independent industry judges, the results are in for the MM&M Awards 2012. The five finalists for each of the 24 categories are revealed below—but you’ll have to wait for the spectacular dinner and ceremony at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on October 9 to find out who will take home the gold and silver awards.

The MM&M Awards are judged with the utmost independence and authority, using an esteemed panel of leaders and thinkers representing a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds within the healthcare marketing community.

This year, MM&M more than doubled the size of the judging panel and introduced a preliminary stage of judging. The objective was threefold: to increase the number of judges reviewing each submission; to allow greater flexibility in matching judges’ expertise with particular category disciplines; and to enable an additional, extended review of the leading contenders in the final round.

Remember, not even the judges will know the identities of the gold and silver winners until they are revealed for the first time on October 9.

For more information on the MM&M Awards, including how to reserve tickets for the dinner and ceremony, a comprehensive list of 2012 judges and details of sponsorship opportunities, please visit the dedicated MM&M Awards website.
