Help Choose the Best of the Best! 2027 Diamond Awards Seeking Judges


America’s Credit Unions’ Diamond Awards are among the most prestigious honors in credit union marketing, recognizing outstanding creativity, innovation, and excellence across the industry. Each year, credit union marketers submit their best campaigns, content, and creative ideas in hopes of earning a coveted Diamond Award.

Now it’s your turn to help choose the winners!

Judging applications are being accepted for the 2027 Diamond Awards. This is a unique opportunity to get a firsthand look at some of the industry’s most impressive marketing work while helping recognize the talented professionals behind it.

As a judge, you’ll gain fresh ideas; explore trends in credit union marketing, public relations, and business development; and connect with peers from across the country. It’s also a rewarding way to share your expertise and make a meaningful contribution to the industry that has given us so much.

Mike Rosmus, Synergent’s Creative Marketing Manager and a longtime Diamond Awards judge, encourages others to consider the opportunity.

“The judging experience is so much more than just rating entries,” shared Rosmus. “It exposes you to amazing, successful, and creative marketing work that can spark ideas to bring back to your own credit union. I’ve been judging the awards for twelve years, and it’s given me the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded professionals, connect with peers, and develop friendships and relationships that have lasted to this day. Beyond all of that, it’s a chance to volunteer your time and expertise and give back to the credit union movement.”
