Submission Guidelines

The ADRP Impact Awards distinguish the very best creative work in the blood banking industry. Submissions are evaluated by a volunteer committee of ADRP members who share a commitment to recognizing creative excellence. Submissions that survive the first round are accepted for presentation at the annual ADRP conference, where the overall membership will evaluate the submissions for gold, silver, or bronze distinction in each category. Gold-level winners will be featured in ADRP publications and will be archived in the ADRP Recruiter Resource Library.
