Golden Image Awards

The Golden Image Awards competition is conducted annually by FPRA to recognize outstanding public relations programs in Florida and to encourage and promote the development of public relations in the state. Applications are typically accepted from April through May. This year’s awards portal opened April 19, 2024. The early bird deadline ends May 7, and the final deadline is May 14. Awards are given out during the Golden Image Gala at annual conference each August. Learn more here. Our local chapter will be happy to help you prepare your entry! Just reach out to Melissa Gulvin, APR.

New Submission Process

When you submit for an Image Award this year, you’ll find an all-new process designed to reduce the time you spend creating a submission and provide enhanced focus and clarity on the elements being judged. No more two-page summaries! This year you’ll find clearly articulated entry fields corresponding directly to the judging rubric. You’ll need to sharpen those metaphorical pencils, though, as the word limits in each field will still require clear, concise, strategic writing skills.
