Emirates Post to sponsor the 3rd annual International Business Awards

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post, April 27, 2005), The International Business Awards are the only global, independent business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace.

Companies in the U.A.E. may submit any number of entries in dozens of categories ranging from Best Executive to Most Innovative Company. Entries may be submitted in multiple languages including Arabic, English and French. Companies in the U.A.E. should use the promotion code "uae" when they submit their entries to have the entry fees waived.

Nicknamed the Stevie® for the Greek word "crowned," the awards, designed by the same company that makes the Oscar and Emmy, will be presented at a gala, internationally broadcast ceremony in New York City on June 26, 2006.

Emirates Post has evolved into a dynamic postal organization with highly diversified services, offering high-quality services to the public and the corporate sector, leveraging high technology and human resources. In an effort to raise standards, Emirates Post has entered into alliances with global postal corporations.

"Emirates Post is pleased and honored to sponsor The 2006 International Business Awards, to enable every company operating in the U.A.E. to compete for international honors in this prestigious competition,"

said Amel M. Attia, Head of Advertising and Promotion for Emirates Post.

The 2nd annual International Business Awards were presented last May to a diverse range of outstanding companies in 22 countries.

Premier Sponsors of The 2006 International Business Awards include Factiva and NII Holdings. National sponsors include Emirates Post. Lionbridge is the official localization partner. Media sponsors are Canadian Business, CIO Decisions, CorpComms, and Selling Power. The Business TalkRadio Network will host the live radio broadcast of the June 26 awards ceremonies, and HB Group will videocast the ceremonies worldwide.
