The PromaxBDA Global Excellence and North America Awards are handed out each year at PromaxBDA's annual conference in June, which alternates between New York City and Los Angeles.

Promax was established in 1956 as a non-profit association for promotion and marketing professionals working in broadcast media. In 1997, The Broadcast Design Association (BDA) who had partnered with Promax for years on their annual conference, officially joined with Promax.

The PromaxBDA awards replaced earlier awards presented separately by Promax and the Broadcast Designers Association (BDA). Thousands of PromaxBDA awards have been presented to companies and individuals whose work is judged by a panel of promotion and marketing professionals using three measures: overall creativity, production quality, and results in achieving marketing objectives.

PromaxBDA is an international association for entertainment marketers, promoters and designers. There are 10,000 individual members represented in 70 countries. The association holds conferences, award competitions and prints publications for their members, and present networking opportunities. PromaxBDA is based in Los Angeles. Steve Kazanjian is the current President & CEO. The Board of Directors is composed of senior entertainment marketing executives, and is currently chaired by Scot Chastain, SVP, Affiliate Marketing & Development, NBC Television Network.
