Media Opportunities
In addition to general AEP-issued press releases about the Awards—which are distributed to members of the general, education, and trade media—your organization can use your nomination as a Finalist or Winner as an opportunity to reach out to your local media and mailing lists.

Third-party product evaluation
The judging process for the AEP Awards consists of objective, third-party product evaluation by teachers and industry experts. When the judging process is over, you can access judges' comments to find out exactly what the experts thought about your product and incorporate these reviews into your next project.

AEP Awards Seals
In a crowded and growing marketplace, one of the best ways to differentiate yourself is to point out your accomplishments and accolades. AEP Award Finalists and Winners earn the right to display the AEP Award Seal, recognized by students, teachers, and administrators as a symbol of outstanding educational quality.

Plus:

• Case studies of Golden Lamp winners featured on the AEP website
• Announcement and celebration of all winners in front of their peers at the CIC conference in Washington, DC, in June. (Golden Lamp and Gold Beacon winners have the opportunity to address their peers and speak about the genesis and impact of their product.)
• Trophies to take home and display, announcing the quality of the winning resources
