Call for entries to the Mid-Florida Local Image Awards competition

The Ocala Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association has released its call for entries for the Mid-Florida Local Image Awards competition.

Since 2011, the competition has been used as a method to recognize the strategic work of local public relations practitioners and now includes entries from Citrus, Flagler, Lake and Volusia counties.

Public relations and communications professionals are encouraged to submit projects that have taken place between Jan. 1, 2020, and Feb. 28, 2021.

To qualify for judging, entries must incorporate sound public relations research, planning, implementation and evaluation and demonstrate the best examples of innovation and design.

The deadline to submit an entry is 11:59 p.m. Feb. 28. Entry fees vary depending on the number of entries and whether the participant is an FPRA member.

Entries must be submitted electronically at FPRAImage.org/Ocala.

The FPRA Ocala Chapter will host an in-person Image celebration Thursday, April 15, from 5:30-8 p.m. at Brick City Center for the Arts (23 SW Broadway St., Ocala).

Winners at this regional competition often compete in the state Golden Image Awards competition in May.
