Wayne Community College has three entries in the running for National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) awards.
The items that are up for a gold, silver, or bronze NCMPR Paragon award are “Renaissance” magazine in the Specialty Publication category, a “Back to School Bash 2018” flyer in the Flyer-Single or Series category, and a photo taken in a Medical Laboratory Technology class in the Photography category.
This is the third year in a row that Wayne Community College creative products have been Paragon Award finalists.
Two years ago WCC garnered a gold award in the video shorts category for its “LookUpWCC” promotional video. Last year it won gold in the Interior Signage/Display – Single or Series Category for a multi-panel timeline and brought home silver in the Outdoor Media: Single or Series Category for its “Day, Night, Online, Now” billboard.
The Paragon Awards recognize excellence in design and communication among community and technical colleges. This year 262 colleges across the country submitted nearly 1,950 in 54 categories. More than 90 marketing and public relations professionals served as judges.
Of the 102 community colleges from the United States and Canada that have finalist entries this year, WCC and Wake Technical Community College are the only North Carolina schools.
The awards will be presented March 25 at the NCMPR National Conference in San Antonio.
