CTAM's Digital Case Study Competition awards are given as recognition of the most effective marketing and operational efforts for digital video, VOD, PPV, and iTV in 2001. Entries are evaluated based on strategy development, implementation and analysis of results. Winners are selected by independent panels of digital experts chosen by the CTAM Digital Conference Planning Committee. The evaluation criteria used by the panel include: measured results, sound or innovative strategy development, implementation, and potential for CTAM members to learn from and adopt the winning ideas for use in their systems.

This year's CTAM Digital conference, entitled "Behind the Screen: Insider Essentials for Selling SVOD, VOD, PPV & iTV," will run March 5-8, 2002, at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif.
