The National Court Reporters Association entry was an animated video highlighting the benefits of a career as a court reporter and was used to recruit new talent to the profession. The video ran online and directed viewers to a website to learn more about court reporting schools nearby. The VIP invitation for The Edison, a Tallahassee restaurant that opened in 2015, was a straw-stuffed wooden box that contained an Edison light bulb and an invitation to attend one of three opening nights at the restaurant.
