Are Your Residents in the Know?

If your township regularly communicates with residents in a print or digital format, consider applying for PSATS’ 2025 Citizen Communication Contest! 

PSATS’ Citizen Communication Contest recognizes townships’ efforts to communicate with residents in seven categories:

• Printed Newsletters (population under 5,000 and population 5,001 and over)

• Electronic Newsletters

• Most Improved Newsletter

• Other Publications

• Multimedia Communications

• Social Media Websites

Winners will receive a framed certificate and coverage in the Pennsylvania Township News. Two Outstanding Citizen Communication Awards for overall communication excellence – one for a township with a population under 5,000 and one over 5,000 – will be presented at the 2025 Annual Conference Excellence Awards ceremony.

The deadline for entries is January 31, 2025. Applicants can submit entries online or in the mail; however, final entries are sent digitally to judges. To learn more or apply for the Citizen Communication Contest, visit https://www.psats.org/citizen-communication-contest/.
