Awards Program Standards
Eligibility
PRSA members and nonmembers are eligible to submit as may entries as they wish in any category. Entrants must be members of the San Antonio Area PRSA chapter or public relations professionals serving a San Antonio and South Texas client, company, event or program.
Awards Committee
An awards committee created by the PRSA San Antonio board of directors administers the Del Oro Awards.
Judging
An impartial panel of distinguished professionals in public relations and closely related fields is recruited to judge the competition. Judges have the right to declare multiple winners in any category and may move entries between categories or combine categories where appropriate, especially where such action enhances the ability of an entry to win an award. The judges may reject any entry that does not meet contest requirements and may choose not to present an award in any category.
Awards Presentation
All winners will be notified in time to make reservations for the annual awards banquet to be held Thursday, May 6, 2010 at The Bright Shawl, 819 Augusta, San Antonio, Texas. Winners who attend the banquet and confirm their attendance by the RSVP deadline will be called to the stage to receive their awards. Duplicate awards may be ordered for a fee through PRSA San Antonio.
Return of Entries
Del Oro, La Plata and El Bronce entries will not be returned by mail. La Plata and El Bronce entries will be displayed during the awards banquet in May. Entries not picked up following the banquet become the property of PRSA San Antonio chapter and will be donated for student education. PRSA will not be responsible for loss or damage to any entry.
