<p><em>Riverside, Calif.</em> &#8211; Maven Concepts took top honors for Web Multi-Media and the coveted Best of Show award at the regional 2009 <a href="http://www.aaf-inlandempire.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/http://www.aaf-inlandempire.com/');">ADDY&reg; Awards</a> ceremony held March 20 in Rancho Cucamonga, California.</p>
<p>Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation, the local ADDY&reg; Awards are the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie for recognition as the very best in their markets. The Inland Empire (Riverside, San Bernardino and eastern Los Angeles counties in Southern California) ADDY&reg; competition is a regional program. Gold Medal winners move on to compete in district, and national competitions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is an outstanding achievement for Maven Concepts and we are very honored to have our hard work recognized by our peers,&rdquo; said Ralph Richardson, principal and owner of Maven Concepts.</p>
<p>This recent win marks the fourth Gold ADDY&reg;, eight total awards, and first Best of Show for Maven Concepts since bursting on the marketing advertising scene in 2005. Both the Gold ADDY&reg; and Best of Show accolades were awarded for the <a href="http://www.europavineyardestates.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/http://www.europavineyardestates.com');">Europa Vineyard Estates website</a>. Europa Vineyard Estates is a high-end, vineyard estate community under development by the <a href="http://rancongroup.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/http://rancongroup.com/');">Rancon Group</a>, based in Murrieta, California. Sharon Racz, associate vice president of marketing for the Rancon Group, also won a Gold Addy&reg; in the category of Mixed / Multi-Media &#8211; Regional / National Campaign in conjunction with the Europa Vineyards Estates marketing program.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a pleasure working with Ralph and his associates at Maven,&rdquo; said Racz after the presentation. &ldquo;They are a very talented group and they bring a lot of creativity and knowledge to the table. As a designer, I find that they are masters of integrating my concepts and ideas into an overall plan. We are pleased to have Maven Concepts as our website development partners.&rdquo;</p>
