Best In Blue: Achieving Communications Excellence

ACWA's Best in Blue Award honors outstanding public water agency efforts in communicating with customers, legislators, media, the public and others. The award focuses on innovation and transparency, and takes budget into consideration.

A variety of communications programs are eligible, including short- and long-term public outreach programs, crisis communications programs, employee relations programs, self-promotion campaigns, customer education programs, legislative outreach programs and agency anniversary campaigns. School education programs are not eligible for this award.

The deadline for submissions is Sept. 1 each year, or the following business day if the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. The award will be presented annually at ACWA’s Fall Conference & Exhibition. Guidelines and an official entry form will be available soon for 2013.
