CalSPRA Announces Communication Awards

The California School Public Relations Association (CalSPRA) recently announced winners in its annual Excellence in Communications Contest. CalSPRA, which works to create a climate for better public understanding, commitment and support of public education, received more than 115 entries in 15 categories from education agencies throughout California.

Entries are evaluated individually against specific criteria reflecting the four-step Public Relations process, as well as quality standards for each of the 15 categories. The entries were judged by professional members of the New York School Public Relations Association.

The Communications Contest is geared to recognizing the successful efforts of education agencies and their communications professionals to produce materials and services that meet the information needs of our communities. Thirty-two Awards of Excellence and 31 Awards of Merit were presented and of the 32 Awards of Excellence, six were awarded the California Gold, the top statewide recognition that honors superior educational public relations programs.
