"OSCARS FOR BUSINESS" ANNOUNCES CALL FOR ENTRIES IN SIXTH ANNUAL AMERICAN BUSINESS AWARDS

New York, NY - January 8, 2008 - Just in time for "Oscar season" the Sixth
Annual American Business Awards issued a call for entries today for its own
version of the "Oscars," seeking to honor the great performances in
business, from top executives and organizations to sales teams and support
staffers.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post, April 27, 2005),
The American Business Awards is the only national, independent business
awards program honoring organizations of all types - public and private,
for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

In a nod to corporate America's focus on "green," the 2008 awards will
present an award in the new Best Environmental Responsibility Program
category to honor companies making changes internally or in their
communities to improve the environment.

Entries may be submitted in dozens of categories ranging from Best Executive
to Most Innovative Company.  Additional new categories in 2008 include Best
Management Team, Best PR or Communications Campaign, and Best PR Agency.
