NCSPRA presents Blue Ribbon Awards for 2018

The North Carolina School Public Relations Association (NCSPRA) recognized 31 school districts and handed out 303 awards during the annual Blue Ribbon Awards brunch and ceremony on February 1, 2019.

The popular awards program, which recognizes effective school communications and public relations, was held at the O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro.

A Blue Ribbon Award is the highest honor a school district can receive from NCSPRA. Awards are presented in eight categories with three award levels:  Gold, Silver, and Bronze. In addition, a ‘Best of the Best’ award is presented to the most outstanding entry in each category.

The awards presented in February honor outstanding school communications efforts in 2018. The entries were judged by the Board of Directors of the Georgia School Public Relations Association.

Among the top award winners were the ‘Best of the Best’ honorees for having the most outstanding entries by category.

The ‘Best of the Best’ winners were Union County Public Schools (Digital Media Engagement), Asheville City Schools (Electronic Media), Lenoir County Public Schools (Excellence in Writing), Mount Airy City Schools (Image/Graphic Design), Union County Public Schools (Marketing), Guilford County Schools (Photography), Henderson County Public Schools (Publications), and Gaston County Schools (Special Events and Programs).
