Find A Photographer is getting a lot of play with multiple marketing promotions. The ASMP iPhone app for Find A Photographer is

Best of ASMP 2009
Choosing twenty finalists from close to 100 projects submitted for the fifth annual Best of ASMP was a challenging task.
Nearly all chapters and several international entries were represented, and the final selection included emerging, associate and
general members from 15 chapters and Canada. Projects that made the cut often married a strong concept and compelling imagery plus
an entrepreneurial characteristic to the works production, marketing or outreach, which set the work apart. This year, a growing
number of projects targeted multimedia content or had multilayered components, which mirrors the direction of the industry at large.
