46th ANNUAL GOLDEN TRUMPET AWARDS

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."


Elynore Meserow Creativity Award

New Faces for Helpful Places
Ace Hardware and L.C. Williams & Associates

Ace Hardware gave "new faces" to eight community "helpful places" to literally and symbolically contribute back to the neighborhoods that have made Ace stores successful for eight decades.

(The Elynore Dolkart Meserow Creativity Award, established in 1986, is presented for exceptional creativity in public relations programs. It is presented in honor of the late Elynore Dolkart Meserow, former PCC president, for her consistent support of creativity in entries during her many years as chair of the Golden Trumpet Awards judging committee.)
