You are invited to join us at the annual Mid-Florida Local Image Awards and Communicator of the Year Awards as we recognize the exceptional public relations programs and communicators from across the region.

The Image Awards have become a standard of public relations excellence in Florida. Winners demonstrate the very best examples of innovation, planning and design. Local Image winners often go on to win at the state Golden Image level.

Established in 2005, the Wilton F. Martin Communicator of the Year Awards recognizes Individuals and Institutions that have demonstrated excellence in strategic communications to improve the quality of life in Marion County. It is named in honor of Martin, a native Ocalan who co-founded FPRA while director of publicity at Silver Springs.

Our Local Image Awards event this year will be a fun-filled, outdoor night of celebrating your peers that you won’t want to miss. We will honor our Local Image Award winners, as well as announce our Chapter Award winners.
In addition to hosting the event outdoors, we will be implementing several safety precautions to ensure that we accommodate all our member’s preferences.
Attire: “Backyard Chic” (aka casual chic/office attire)
We are embracing a backyard “glamping” theme this year for the local image awards. The entire event will take place outdoors and in nature, so we highly recommend wearing comfortable footwear.
All attendees will receive:
An individual appetizer box, featuring a carefully selected assortment of hors d’oeuvres (vegetarian option available)
A choice of an assortment of individual mini-desserts
Two beverage tickets redeemable for an assortment of soda, beer and wine. (unlimited water will be provided)

Don your best tourist or spring break getup and join us online for Spring Break or Bust: FPRA Image Awards 2K21! We will be celebrating our chapter’s Image Award winners and will be recognizing our Communicator, Rising PR Professional and Media Person of the Year. There will be giveaways during the celebration and with each ticket purchased, you will receive a commemorative box filled with goodies to help you celebrate in style.
