NFPW Communications Contest encourages and rewards excellence in communications in a wide range of categories — writing, editing, page design, photography, graphics, radio, television, web and social media, advertising, public relations/promotion/publicity, speeches, collegiate/education, books and creative writing.
Colorado members of NFPW are urged to enter the At-Large Contest run by the National Federation of Press Women for states without an active contest (like Colorado). First-place At-Large winners are automatically entered in NFPW’s national contest if they are NFPW members. Competitors are often from New York, New Hampshire, Maryland, Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Jersey, Maine, Oregon, Wyoming, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut and Michigan.
The 2021 NFPW professional communications contest is closed for entries.
- At-Large winners will be notified in March, and first-place winners must be NFPW members by March 15 to compete in the national contest.
- National winners will be notified in April and honored at NFPW conference at the awards dinner in Little Rock, Ark., on June 11, 2021.
