Thoroughbred Awards
The annual Thoroughbred Chapter public relations contest is now accepting entries for awards. Entries are due on or before April 22, 2011. The awards dinner is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at DeSha's Restaurant in Lexington beginning at 6:00 p.m. For full award program details, click here: Thoroughbred Awards - Call For Entries Entry Forms
On the Call for Entries form you will find two major headings… Campaigns & Tactics… with 17 categories under those two headings. Find one, or several, that best fit the work you’ve done.
The award goes to a person who does not work in the public relations business who the board feels has done the best job in 2009 of communicating to his or her audience about the cause or campaign they promoted. A nominee can be offered by anyone and the nomination should come with as much supporting material as comfortable to convince the board of the nominee’s worthiness. Recent past recipients include Dr. Pearse Lyons, the president of Alltech; Dr. George Zack of the Lexington Philharmonic and UK president Dr. Lee Todd.
This is the fifth year for the award which is not necessarily presented every year. Nominees must have worked in the PR profession or similar communications field over an extended period of time. A complete list of the criteria can be found on the website. Past recipients include Tom Preston and the late Faith Miller Cole, Phyllis Combs Liebman and Phil Osborne. How to Submit PRSA Thoroughbred Awards On the “memo” line of the check, please list your organization’s name. Only checks or cash will be accepted for payment of entries. Sorry… NO credit cards.
