2014 Polaris Awards: The Winners
Posted by admin on Nov. 26, 2014 / Subscribe 0
The Polaris Awards is an annual awards program that recognizes the very best in strategic public relations programs and tactical execution in the Inland Empire. This year, we had over 70 outstanding and noteworthy award entries submitted. These entries were judged on a 100-point system by the PRSA Chapter of Tucson, Arizona by senior public relations practitioners. There are three award categories: Capella Awards; Polaris Awards and Best of Show.
The Capella Awards represents achievement of performance in the chosen category. These are awards that received high scores from the judges and considered worthy of recognition.
The Polaris Trophies represents the HIGHEST standards of performance in the public relations profession. They received very exceptional scores from the judges.
