About
Conducted annually, the Image Awards competition provides PR practitioners an excellent platform to be recognized in their home markets for their outstanding public relations tools and programs.
The Image Awards also works to give entrants insights for entering their work, if they choose, into FPRA’s statewide competition: the Golden Image Awards. The Golden Image Awards have become a standard of public relations excellence in Florida.
The Image Awards competition mirrors the Golden Image Awards, but is held on a local level as opposed to statewide. Both these award competitions include four divisions, and within these divisions are multiple categories.
To learn more about judging criteria and eligibility, please visit FPRA’s Image Awards site.
2023 Golden Image Award entries will be accepted beginning April 18, 2023. The early bird deadline to enter at a reduced entry fee is May 9, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The final entry deadline is May 15, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
