The DVA's have multiple categories to choose from that are listed below. We developed categories that best fit the growing business of digital video advertising, branded content, entertainment, and technology that will fit the ongoing efforts out in the field. There can be overlap in some of the categories and it is up to the entrant to choose which is most appropriate for that particular entry. An entry can be entered in multiple categories.
