Marketing fundsters have an extra two weeks to get in on the STAR Awards action.

This fall the Mutual Fund Education Alliance (MFEA) will give out its 19th annual STAR Awards for fundsters' marketing and communications efforts. The initial deadline for submitting entries for consideration was this Monday, June 15.

"Due to numerous requests, we've extended the entry deadline to June 29, giving everybody an opportunity to submit their entries," MFEA director Kimber Lintz tells MFWire.

This year's entry process for the first time is entirely online. Mutual fund shops can compete in 44 different categories, with each category divided up by firm AUM. The winning firms will be recognized at the STAR Awards Celebration on October 15 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, following the MFEA's Marketing Council meeting.
