It's time to prep and submit your entries for the 2019 NACIO Awards of Excellence! This national communications competition recognizes the top work from county government communicators across the country. With nine categories and twenty-one subcategories, we're sure you have a communication project ready to impress the judges and compete for national honors.

New this year, the NACIO Board of Directors has decided to award entrants in each category from two population groups: counties with a population of 250,000 or more and counties with a population of less than 250,000, with special recognition given to those works created in-house. This change will allow NACIO to honor the work of even more county communicators while recognizing budget and resource limitations.

Early-Bird Entries will be accepted April 12-April 28, 2019 (deadline is 11:59 p.m. EST). The charge for NACIO members is $35 per entry; the charge for non-NACIO members is $50 per entry.

Standard Entries will be accepted April 29-May 10, 2019 (again, the deadline is 11:59 p.m. EST). The charge for these entries is $50 per enter for NACIO members and $65 per entry for non-NACIO members.

The link to submit entries will be made available April 12 - please check your email and this web site at that time.
