Golden Trumpet Awards

The 62nd Annual Golden Trumpet Awards
This past year has created unprecedented challenges for Chicago and in particular, Chicago’s public relations professionals. Demonstrating Chicago’s “can-do” spirit the Chicago PR community continued to produce the kind of excellence exemplified by the Publicity Club of Chicago’s 2021 Golden Trumpet Awards - the most prestigious awards program in the Midwest for individual achievement in public relations and communications.
To match the moment, we have created some new categories. We have also created a new portal you can access right on our website using your PCC login. You will find additional information if you scroll down on this page. If you are ready to submit, simply click on the button below.
