Agricultural Public Relations Council Repeats Call for Golden ARC Award Entries

Apr 12, 2010

Dublin, Texas, – The Agricultural Relations Council has re-issued the “call for entries” for their 2010 Golden ARC awards.

Originated in 1990, the Golden ARC awards program recognizes the best and brightest in agricultural public relations, and is open to both ARC and non-ARC members. The 38 categories reflect the broad scope of public relations activities today, including campaigns and a range of tactics, from traditional media releases to social media.

The 38 categories are divided into two divisions – Campaigns and Tactics. Campaign entries will be evaluated on research, planning, execution and evaluation and results, while tactics categories primarily will be evaluated on execution. A student category is included, as well.

The 2010 Golden ARC Awards is a golden opportunity to recognize excellence in agricultural public relations,” said Amy Keith McDonald, Golden ARC Awards contest manager. “By recognizing the best in 38 categories of ag PR campaigns and tactics, we provide agricultural communications professionals with the opportunity to evaluate and gain recognition for their best work . Thus, we elevate the standards of our industry through each entry.”

Entries for the Golden ARC Awards Contest must be received on or before Saturday, May 1, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. The format and requirements for the Golden ARC awards are similar to other leading PR awards programs, based on best practices for public relations campaigns and tactics.

The contest is open to both non-ARC members and ARC members. “After a higher entry fee for their first submission, non-ARC members are awarded ARC membership as well,” said McDonald. “Thereafter, their entry fee is the same as other ARC members, $125.”

The entry fee for the first entry for non-ARC members is $300. Additional entries are $125 each. More information is available at www.GoldenARCawards.com, or at the ARC website, www.agrelationscouncil.org.
