There are two levels of Image Awards. Our chapter holds our Local Image awards each spring as the precursor to FPRA’s Golden Image Awards, which are held in late summer.

Conducted annually, the Local Image Awards competition provides Southwest Florida PR practitioners an excellent platform to be recognized for their outstanding public relations tools and programs, while Golden Image Awards allow our members to be recognized at the statewide level.
