Winners will be honored at an awards luncheon on Thursday, Sept. 25, in conjunction with PNA’s Advertising Conference, scheduled for Sept. 24-26 in State College.
Details and registration for the conference and awards luncheon will be available this summer.
Plaques will be provided to all first-place winners and certificates to all second place and honorable mention winners in attendance at the awards luncheon. Certificates for non-attendees will be available for pick up at the conclusion of the presentation. Any certificates not distributed at the event will be mailed after the event.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Participation in the PNA Foundation Advertising Contest is essential to winning the coveted News Organization of the Year Awards. Beginning in 2023, your company MUST ENTER BOTH the Keystone Media Awards AND the PNA Foundation Advertising Contest in order to earn and accumulate points toward NOY designation which demonstrates your outstanding efforts across all facets of your news company. Companies not entering both contests will not be considered for NOY honors.
Direct order your plaques through Present A Plaque! To get the same plaques we issue to our first-place winners in the Advertising Contest, order the pocket plaques in black marble with frosted, non-glare acrylic (item #FBPOCM81 – for a case of 10), or item #FBPOCM81S (for individual plaques). You’ll see a significant savings if ordering by the case! Plaque orders will be sent directly to you from Present A Plaque via FedEx (ground or 2-day delivery options available).
