Top Awards
Each year, from the hundreds of entries received by
the Publicity Club of Chicago, special recognition is
given to a select few Golden Trumpet entries. Entries
that illustrate special creativity, address an issue to
improve the quality of life, or exhibit exceptional
overall public relations can be recommended by the
judges for this special recognition. These entries are
then evaluated by a group of top agency executives who
select "the best of the best."
