JUDGING VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
This year, our reciprocal judging partner is the Volunteer Chapter in Knoxville, TN. The Volunteer Chapter recognizes their best communications work at the annual "V" Awards, which will be held the same evening as our Mercury Awards banquet - April 10!
The Knoxville entries have arrived in Charleston, so we are assembling a team of volunteers with all levels of experience - from new pros to senior practitioners - to help judge their work. If you are interested in helping judge, please contact Kelly Hamilton or Adie Lee, Judging Co-Chairs. All Knoxville entries will be judged the week of February 18th.
Judging is a great opportunity to scope out what other PR practitioners are doing, and maybe get a little inspiration that you can apply at your own company or for a client!
Thank you for your help!
