Advertising Tearsheet Contest

Advertising departments across Pennsylvania continue to produce outstanding classified and display ads, campaigns, and publications worthy of much recognition. Judges consider the objective, strategy and result as well as design and attractiveness for all ads. Check back soon for 2012 contest rules and instructions.  Deadline to enter will be late July.  Winners will be announced in late August.

This year's awards will be presented at the 2012 PNA Advertising Conference, Sept. 26-28, at The Hilton, Harrisburg Pa. Winners or their representatives are asked to make every effort to attend this event to receive their awards. The PNA Foundation supplies plaques to all winners in attendance at the awards banquet. Following the banquet, certificates will be mailed to winners not in attendance with the option to purchase plaques.

Below are the winners of the 2011 Contest. You can search the table by typing in the box under each column header.
