  What Savvy ideas are you proud of?  Have you been Communications Savvy this year?  Have you really made your city or county shine?  Enter 3CMA's 19th Annual Savvy Awards competition.  Share your success with other communicators and win an award!  
     
  The Savvy Awards competition is sponsored by the City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA).  The awards recognize outstanding local government achievements in communications, public-sector marketing and citizen-government relationships.  The Savvies salute skilled and effective city, county professionals who have creatively planned and carried out successful innovations in communications.  
     
  The Savvy Awards program also serves as an increasingly important forum for exchanging cutting-edge information and ideas among government professionals.  Local governments are in the spotlight now, more than ever.  Local government officials must react with innovative, creative approaches and programs.  In the Savvy competition, you can share with others how you have met that challenge.  Other local government professionals would like to learn from your experience and exchange ideas that may help you in the future.  
     
  How the Savvy's Work  
 
  1. Awards are presented for creative and successful programs in two areas: Communications & Marketing Tools, and Communication & Marketing Processes.

  3. Processes are broad categories of activity, such as citizen participation and communication plans.
     
  4. Savvy Awards are presented in 10 categories with 31 subcategories.  For judging purposes, Savvy Awards are given for each population group in each category.  Second place Silver Circle Awards and third place Awards of Excellence are awarded in each category.
