Awards to Be Presented in Germany in September.
The Fourth Annual International Business Awards marked the launch of its call for entries today with a revised list of categories and plans to stage its awards gala outside the U.S.A. for the first time.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post, April 27, 2005), The International Business Awards are the only global, independent awards program honoring outstanding achievements in business.

Entry kits for The 4th Annual International Business Awards may be requested at www.stevieawards.com/iba. The 2007 awards will honor accomplishments made in 2006. The entry deadline is April 16.

All organizations worldwide may participate in the IBAs -- public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. Entries may be submitted in dozens of categories ranging from Best Multinational Company to Best Advertising Campaign. For a full list of categories visit: http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/171_695_3021.cfm.

Multiple awards based on geography will now be conferred in a number of the most popular categories. Entries may be submitted in multiple languages including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Nicknamed the Stevie® for the Greek word "crowned," the awards, designed by the same company that makes the Oscar and Emmy, will be presented at a gala banquet in Munich, Germany on Monday, September 10.

The 3rd annual International Business Awards were presented last June in New York to a diverse range of outstanding companies in 22 countries.

Premier Sponsor of The 2007 International Business Awards is the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology.
