The campaign or tactic on which you’ve worked so hard could be chosen as the most successful in Southern Arizona.

Who will judge?

The judges’ form will follow a specific criteria noted under "Categories and Criteria." Decisions of the judges are final. If entries in a category do not meet the judges’ criteria for excellence, then no award will be made in that category.
Special Awards
