Your Help Is Needed! Sign Up to Judge the Diamond Awards


The CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council’s Diamond Awards is one of the most prestigious credit union competitions, attracting 1,200+ entries every year. These awards recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence within the credit union industry.

A key component of this successful, longstanding awards program, is the judging that takes place before the trophies are handed out. If you have an interest in contributing to the judging process, now is your chance. CUNA is currently accepting applications for judges.

Being a Diamond Awards judge is a unique opportunity to be exposed to the most innovative ideas in credit union marketing and business development. It also provides great insight into industry trends and advertising. By serving as a judge, you will get a chance to work with your peers from across the country, and receive recognition as an industry leader and promoter.

“The judging experience is so much more than just rating entries,” said Mike Rosmus, Creative Marketing Manager for the League and Synergent. “It exposes you to successful and creative marketing pieces, which can spark ideas that you can bring back to your own marketing campaigns. I’ve been judging the awards for eight years. Throughout this time, I have had the opportunity to work with like-minded professionals and develop friendships and contacts that have lasted to this day. Serving as a judge provides you a chance to volunteer your time and talent, while also giving back to the credit union movement as a whole.”
