About the Awards Programs
California Association of Public Information Officers (CAPIO) Awards
CAPIO’s EPIC awards program recognizes the most creative and effective efforts in the areas of communication and marketing campaigns for the public good. The EPIC Award is given to programs that receive the highest marks for work that “transcends innovation and craft – work that made a lasting impact.” Distinction awards are given to programs demonstrating exceptional effort but with evaluation scores that fell just below the criteria for top honors.
California Association of Counties (CSAC) Challenge Awards
CSAC’s Annual Challenge Awards recognize the innovative and creative spirit of our California Counties as they find new, effective and cost-saving ways to provide programs and services to their citizens. Awards are given across a range of categories and recognize efforts across rural, suburban and urban geographies.
