The prestigious Crystal Awards recognize high-quality work in branding and marketing from Houston-area companies, and a panel of judges determine the winning project through an in-depth write-up review process. Award winners were announced on May 19th at the Crystal Awards Gala in the Bayou City Event Center in Houston.
