The annual competition includes 46 categories for agricultural public relations activities as campaigns and individual tactics conducted in full or partially in the year 2016.

 

The Golden ARC Awards contest, the most prestigious awards in ag PR, honors the stellar work created by professionals in the agricultural industry.

The categories cover the broad scope of ag public relations and public affairs activities today, reflecting the evolution of agricultural public relations and with an added focus on social media.

 

The Golden ARC de Excellence award for the best all-around entry in the campaigns division will also be awarded.

 

Entries may be submitted until April 15, 2017, at 11:59 p.m. EST with an entry fee of $175. Both ARC members and non-members may enter the competition. Non-members pay an additional $190 with the first entry, thereby becoming a member of ARC.

 

The winners will receive their honors at the ARC annual meeting, June 20-22, 2017, in Sacramento, CA.
