For the last 18 years, the Kentucky Association of
Government Communicators has recognized professional excellence
in written and broadcast communications materials and campaigns
by public agencies through this competition.
As in previous years, this competition places high priority in two
areas: providing professional peer critiques for all entries and
publicly honoring those submissions that merit recognition.
(Entries
that do not comply with all rules will be disqualified. Late entries
will not be accepted.)
The KAGC Awards of Excellence Competition is open
to all KAGC members and to employees of local, state and federal
agencies who provide communications services to their agencies. Materials produced by commercial agencies must be entered by the
governmental agency that contracted the work. Work by private agencies
will be judged separately from work done by government agencies.

a program or service specifically designed and/or provided by
a local, state or federal agency operating within Kentucky.
- Materials must have been completed
between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2007.
- Entries may have been produced either
by the submitting agency or agencies under contract by an outside
agency on behalf of the submitting agency/agencies. However,
all entries must have been funded directly and in their entirety
by the submitting agency/agencies and must have been published
and/or distributed by the submitting agency/agencies.
- Each entry MUST have a separate
entry form. (The attached form may be copied.) PLEASE include
two (2) completed copies of entry form.

time and budget limitations and resolution.
- Available evaluation, evidence
of success.
Any entry not complying with all rules
of the contest will be disqualified.
Judging of all entries is
expected to be completed by a panel of judges with backgrounds in
media, communications and advertising.
Judges may determine the
rating of Excellence, Merit or Honorable Mention for each project
in each category. Judges may award multiple ratings at each level
in any category. Judges may elect not to make awards in any
category.
