Getting the word out
Besides this web site, the winners were recognized in TV, radio and print advertising

Television
Advertising on cable TV recognized Diamond and Diamond Ring winners with an audience of their peers, the highly educated and influential individuals who watch CNN, CNBC, Fox News, A&E, and The History Channel. The cable TV schedule began in King County on January 30, and advertisements appeared for more than three weeks. Most spots aired during prime time, with the exception of advertising on CNBC which concentrates on the critical "market watch" hours of 6 to 10 a.m. Half of the winners are recognized in each of two announcements that are running in equal rotation. Nearly 200 spots aired on cable TV, reaching more than 64% of King County adults, ages 25-54.
