The OBIE Award is outdoor advertising's greatest honor and rightly so. It recognizes excellence in the medium some call the most difficult for which to create. The OBIE is great outdoor, the benchmark by which all creative is measured, the visual guideline to emulate.

The OBIE Award is the oldest-and certainly among the most sought after-honors for creative excellence in the world of advertising. The award itself is modeled after the obelisks of ancient Egypt, tall stone structures that were used to publicize laws and treaties. The obelisk is often considered the first true form of outdoor advertising.
