PRSA-NCC Announces Finalists For 2019 Thoth Awards

The Public Relations Society of America’s National Capital Chapter announced the finalists for its annual Thoth Awards. Now in its 51st year, the Thoth Awards — named after the Egyptian god of communication — recognize public relations and communications professionals in the greater Washington area for their exemplary work.
Awards will be presented on Sept. 27 during a luncheon at the National Press Club. These include Program awards that recognize the best campaigns of the year and Component awards that recognize specific tactics.
“Each year, I am inspired by the exceptional creativity and ability of public relations professionals showcased at the Thoth Awards,” said PRSA-NCC President Stacy Hope. “This year’s finalists truly represent the best and the brightest of our area’s communications professionals, and I look forward to congratulating them in person at our luncheon on September 27.”
PRSA-NCC will also honor the 2019 Hall of Fame inductees during the Thoth Awards Luncheon. The Hall of Fame recognizes long-time professionals who have consistently demonstrated superior commitment to the field of public relations.
Tickets for the luncheon are now available. Early bird pricing is available (PRSA-NCC members/retirees $75, students $45 and non-members $95) until Sept. 13 and then pricing will increase $20 for members and non-members.
