2008 PRexcellence Awards
The PRexcellence Awards honor the highest quality efforts of California Libraries in promoting and communicating their message to their customers. 2008 PRexcellence Awards entries should represent a library's best work in this area. We encourage all formats. An entry may be one piece or an entire campaign. Three awards will be given within each of three divisions determined by organizational budget: <$5M; $5-$10M; $10M and above. CLA will honor award winners during the annual conference in November. The most creative entry, the Best of Show Award, will be presented during the Awards Banquet.
PR projects may cover a broad range of activities such as: programming, advocacy, news and information or any other PR related campaign. When submitting your project, please include the following:
- The project goal
- How the piece achieved the goal
- The intended audience
- How the success of the project was measured
