Wait, it's not too late for you! While Heidelberg has distributed their awards, you still have time to submit your application for the WhatTheyThink Environmental Innovation Award. The deadline has been extended until April 9, so get your application now and don't miss your chance to win. Our winners will be flown to Atlanta, where they will be presented their awards by executives from WhatTheyThink and Unisource, our partner in this program. Not only will each recipient be spotlighted on all of WhatTheyThink’s online properties, each will be keynoted in a one-on-one video that can shared with their customers and the press. As a special “Thank You,” winners also get site-wide corporate access to WhatTheyThink.com for a year. I'm sorry, but unfortunately you will not be presented with a check for lots of Euros.
