For those of you who aren't familiar with the Golden Image Awards process, here's a short tutorial:

The Golden Image Awards competition is conducted annually by the Florida Public Relations Association to recognize outstanding public relations programs in Florida and to encourage and promote the development of public relations professionalism in our state.

Winners demonstrate the very best examples of innovation, planning and design. The awards competition includes four divisions of categories: Public Relations Programs, Printed Tools of Public Relations, Audio/Visual Tools of Public Relations and Student Projects in Public Relations. 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.

There are several different levels of awards:

Award of Distinction - presented to all entries that meet the standard of excellence set by a panel of judges.

Golden Image Award - Presented to top-scoring entry in each category.

Judges’ Award - Presented by judges for an outstanding entry that achieves maximum results while using a minimum amount of money.
