Here they are: the finalists of Catalog Age’s 19th Annual Catalog Awards (ACA). The judges selected 63 finalists in 27 categories from more than 200 entries. The finalists in the international categories will be selected later, as will the finalists for the I.Merchant Awards for e-commerce excellence.
The winners for all the ACA and I.Merchant categories will be announced May 5 at a luncheon ceremony at the Annual Catalog Conference in Chicago. (For more information about the show, visit www.catalogconference.com.)
