AAPA’s 2012 Communications Awards Program offers the opportunity to showcase your port staff’s skills and talents in the areas of marketing communications and public/community relations. Winning entries will be announced prior to the 101st Annual AAPA Annual Convention and Exhibition in Mobile, Alabama, Oct. 21-25, 2012, and will be featured in the Fall 2012 issue of AAPA Seaports Magazine.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Sponsored by AAPA’s Public Relations Committee, the annual Communications Awards Program has recognized excellence in port communications since 1966. The purpose of the competition is to recognize excellence in the products, programs and services that public port authorities design and produce to meet their public relations and marketing goals.

AAPA member ports may submit entries in one of two categories: Category 1 ports have at least three fulltime equivalent PR and marketing communications staff and an annual marketing/PR budget of at least $150,000; Category 2 ports have an annual marketing/PR budget of less than $150,000 and fewer than three fulltime equivalent PR and marketing communications staff. The 15 different entry classifications range from advertisements to video presentations, and magazines to social media sites.

Deadline for entries to reach AAPA headquarters is 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 1, 2012.

Entries are judged by an independent panel of seasoned communications professionals on the basis of: defining the communication challenge (10%); planning and programming components (20%); actions and communication outputs (20%); evaluation methods (10%); overall quality of communication (40%).

AAPA’s 46th Annual Communications Awards is open to all AAPA Corporate (i.e., port authority) members and features minor rules and classification revisions for 2012. A relatively new requirement is that entrants must download a template PowerPoint slide from AAPA’s website and insert specific entry information and graphics into the slide, including the port’s logo, and email it to aellis@aapa- by the May 1, 2012, deadline (see page 4 for details).

To encourage entries from AAPA-member ports throughout the Western Hemisphere, communications materials to be judged may be in a language other than English. However, entry forms, descriptions and supporting documentation must be in English so English-speaking judges can read and understand them.

All entries will be judged by a high standard that will have to be met in order to qualify for an award. If that standard is not met for a particular classification, regardless of the number of entries, no awards will be given in that classification.

ENTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

TIPS ON SCORING HIGH MARKS FOR EVALUATION

Judges for AAPA's Annual Communications Awards use score sheets that require a numerical score on the following criteria (100 total points possible):

1. Defining the communications challenge (10 points max.); including how well the entry explains the situation that requires communicating with target audiences, and inclusion of a particular problem or oppor-tunity statement that has measurable outcomes.

2. Planning and programming components (20 points max.); including how the entry identifies goals, objectives and target audiences.

3. Actions and communications outputs (20 points max.); including the extent to which the entry specifies appropriate strategies and tactics, implementation agenda, timeline(s) and staffing.

4. Evaluation methods (10 points max.); including how well the entry describes methods used to evaluate its success, and the extent to which the methods are appropriate and measurable.

5. Overall quality of communication (40 points max.); including the extent to which: the overall communication device is compelling; the text is clear, concise and appropriate for the target audience(s); the graphics (and/or sound) are interesting and eye/ear-catching; the copy, graphics, sound (if any) and layout work well together; and the entry appears to capture the audience’s attention and/or inspires action.

Entries that consistently get low scores from judges are entries that do not state measurable, time-oriented objectives and that don’t provide an analysis of the communication’s success to help a judge determine if it achieved its goals and objectives. Oftentimes judges have also complained that entries fail to provide enough background or situational analysis for them to understand the reason or purpose behind the stated objectives. In other words, judges want to know what the entry is trying to achieve and why the submitting port wants to achieve it.

Entries that state something like, "We got lots of favorable comments," do not constitute effective evaluation. The judges are looking for evidence that you have built quantifiable measures into your communication piece. In other words, how many people saw it or read it? Was there a way for them to contact you later, such as by phone, email, reply card, etc.? Was any audience feedback requested in the communication? What percentage of the people you sent it to saw it and responded? Moreover, what did they say? The most important things to measure in the evaluation phase are communications outcomes (e.g., changed opinions, attitudes and behaviors), although communications outputs (e.g., number of media placements, impressions or Web “hits”) are also helpful for evaluating success.

Another concern of judges is that many submissions do not clearly state the purpose of the communication entry. They want to know why the particular communications vehicle was chosen over all the other possible options and if any other communication vehicles were considered.

Finally, some judges have complained when too much information is contained in an individual submission binder. Individual entries stuffed into in binders containing every scrap of information pertaining to that communication submission generally contain more information than judges can absorb. Include only pertinent documentation and keep binder weights under five (5) pounds. For example, consider summarizing survey results when including feedback surveys with your submission rather than including every completed survey in your binder.

Points to Consider

Advertisements

How many people saw the ad (circulation of publications)? Was there a direct feedback mechanism (such as a phone number or website address) in the ad so you could measure response? What was the marketing result you wanted and what did you get?

Periodicals

Do you perform readership surveys of your periodicals so that you know what your readers think? How do you know if the newsletter or magazine is too long or too short, or if readers like the look, content and layout? Have you ever conducted a focus group to determine what people think of the publication? Have you logged evidence of call-in or email responses to determine the success of your publications?

Special Events

How many people attended your event in relation

to your stated objectives? How did you record attendees’ attitudes toward the event? Did you do a post-event internal and/or external evaluation to seek ways to improve the next event?

Websites

What are your website “visit” stats and do they meet your objectives? How many visits per month as compared to a year ago? Do you have a "Contact Us" button and how many responses does it get? How many organizations ask to link to your site?

Promotional Materials

Do your posters and maps entice readers to respond and do they have contact information that’s easy for readers to remember? Do you have a way to capture the information on who is responding to your cards and letters and what they are saying? Do your brochures and flyers have identification codes that respondents can mention when they write in or call that lets you know how they learned about your message? How did you assess the number of people who responded? What percentage of the total mailing?

Videos

How many people have viewed your video presentation since you produced it? Have you asked any of these groups to fill out a simple evaluation form about what they learned? Does your video have a measureable call-to-action, such as responding to online survey or calling into a toll-free number?

Handbooks and Directories

If your communication is a handbook or directory, what, and how many, inquiries have resulted and what are people saying about the information contained in it, or the pictures/ illustrations? How many requests did you get for more copies?

Social/Web-Based Media

What was the general tone and quality of audience responses to your social media messages? How did your social media presence assist your port in achieving its communications objectives?

For each communication product or service you enter, ask yourself: Why did I produce this piece or program and how do I know the extent it furthered my communications objective(s)? If you aren’t able to answer these questions, the entry probably isn’t ready to be judged. When it is ready, you should be able to draw a direct correlation between the communication and the result, rather than just assuming there is one. For example, if you received a record turnout for your community event, you should have asked your audience if it was due to communications they saw or heard from the port. If you didn’t ask, the great turnout could have been from some other factor, such as spillover from an adjacent event.
