About the Image Awards
The FPRA Image Awards competition is the precursor to FPRA’s Golden Image Awards.
Conducted annually, the Image Awards competition provides PR practitioners an excellent platform to be recognized in their home markets for their outstanding public relations tools and programs.
The Image Awards also works to give entrants insights for entering their work, if they choose, into FPRA’s statewide competition: the Golden Image Awards. The Golden Image Awards have become a standard of public relations excellence in Florida.
The Image Awards competition mirrors the Golden Image Awards, but is held on a local level, as opposed to statewide. Both these award competitions include four divisions: Public Relations Programs, Collateral of Public Relations, Digital Tools of Public Relations and Student Projects in Public Relations. Within these divisions are multiple categories.
To qualify for judging, an entry must incorporate sound public relations research and planning. Entries also must meet the highest standard of production, execution and evaluation of results and budget.
The Chapter Image Awards submissions are due Monday, March 6 by 11:59 p.m. Click here to view the Call for Entries and learn more. For questions, contact Melissa Gulvin, APR, VP of Image Awards.
Golden Image Awards
The Golden Image Awards competition is conducted annually by the 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 to May. The 2023 dates and details will be posted when available. Learn more here.
