Communicator of Achievement Award
DPA Professional Communications Contest
The annual DPA Communications Contest, open to all
professional communicators in Delaware, encourages and rewards excellence in
communication. Judged by out-of-state communications professionals to ensure
impartiality, the contest provides an opportunity to compete in various
print or electronic broadcasting fields. All DPA contest winners are honored
at the DPA Annual Meeting and Contest Awards Banquet each spring. First
place winners who are members of the National Federation of Press Women
(NFPW) may enter the national competition.
First State High School Journalism Contest
DPA sponsors an annual High School Journalism Contest for
student journalists statewide. Those who receive first place awards in the
various DPA contest categories are eligible to enter the NFPW national
competition.
Communicator of Achievement Award
The annual Communicator of Achievement Award is the highest
honor DPA bestows on its members. First and foremost, the COA Award is given
for a lifetime of achievement in the communications profession. And second,
it recognizes exemplary service to the community and to humanity as well as
to the profession, especially to Delaware Press Association and the National
Federation of Press Women. The DPA COA competes annually in the NFPW COA
contest for the honor of being chosen the National Communicator of
Achievement. DPA’s 2002 COA Kay Wood Bailey of Wyoming, Del., was named
National COA at the NFPW Communications Conference in Bismarck, N.D., in
September 2002.
