The Irrigation Association’s (IA’s) Smart Irrigation Month Committee named the winners of its 2014 Smart Marketing Contest, recognizing companies that demonstrate outstanding efforts to promote Smart Irrigation Month.
This year’s contest winners were selected by a panel of judges based on messaging, quality, creativity and implementation of Smart Irrigation Month messaging in five categories:
