2020 Communications Competition Entries Due June 15

With many port communications personnel working from home during the coronavirus pandemic, AAPA extended the its 2020 Communications Awards Program entry deadline to Monday, June 15, and the new deadline is approaching fast.

On the Communications Awards Program landing page, you can view the competition’s highlights, find links to winning entries from previous years for review and download, and navigate to the online entry materials by scrolling to the bottom and clicking the Submit button. That will link you to the entry guidelines, instructions to upload your entries (after you’ve created your account), securely pay your entry fee online, and download the required PowerPoint slide template that must be completed for each entry submitted.

So, if you haven’t done so already, start preparing your 2020 AAPA Communications Award Program submissions today. For more information and to submit, go to https://bit.ly/3bfSdYJ.

Winning entries from this year’s competition will be announced in August and individual awards (for Excellence, Distinction and Merit) will be shipped shortly after that. Winners who email back a photo showcasing their award(s) will be featured in an audio/visual presentation during AAPA’s 2020 Annual Convention and Expo in Québec City, Canada, which takes place Sept. 13-16. Entrants who win one of the three Overall Award of Excellence trophies will be presented their trophy at AAPA’s 2020 annual convention.
