The PNA Foundation supplied plaques to each first-place winner and certificates to each second place and honorable mention winner in attendance at the Advertising Contest Awards Luncheon on May 16. Certificates not distributed on May 16 have been mailed to the news organizations.
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.
Present A Plaque is now offering direct ordering! 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).
