are not obligated to present awards in every category.

for the project.
Communication Planning: Describe how the content, material
and media selected supports the project goals and objectives.
Budget: Include the budget for the project and if the project
was delivered within budget guidelines.
Measurement/Results: Describe the method used to measure
the effectiveness of the project. Describe the intended results
of the project and how well the goals and objectives were
met, providing quantitative and qualitative results information.
Notification
Bronze Beacon Award winners will be notified in late July.
The entrant’s name, as written on the entry form,
will be inscribed on the award (maximum of 50 characters).
For example: John Jones, or John Jones and Sally Smith,
or The XXX Company Marketing Team. If multiple participants
were involved in creating the entry and each is to receive
an individual award, information about ordering additional
awards will be available after the Awards Banquet in August.
Awards Banquet
OCIABC will recognize winners at a special celebration at
Kell’s Irish Pub in downtown Portland on Wednesday,
