The deadline for submissions to the Digital Signage Expo (DSE) Apex and Content Awards has been extended, the organiser of the US trade show has announced. The additional time has been granted due to an 'extraordinary response' to the two awards programmes, which recognise digital signage projects and content.

"We are […] happy to accommodate those whose projects are currently in roll-out and need more time to adequately prepare their applications and have extended the awards submission deadline to Friday October 14th," says Richard Lebovitz, educational and editorial director for Exponation, producer of DSE.

DSE has also confirmed that the Digital Signage Federation, the trade fair's official association show sponsor, is also the sponsor of the awards dinner, taking place on March 7th at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, USA.

"We appreciate the Digital Signage Federation’s support of DSE's awards programme and the federation's active participation in encouraging industry innovation," adds Lebovitz.

DSE will he held from March 6th to 9th 2012 in Las Vegas.
