52nd Bell Ringer Awards: Run of Show

As most of you know, the 52nd Bell Ringer Awards have gone digital! 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a number of challenges for professionals across industries, and we, like many other organizations, are finding ways to create meaningful, engaging virtual event experiences. 

So, while the ceremony may look a little different this year, we’re more excited than ever to honor the region’s most impressive PR and communications work, and recognize the incredible agencies and organizations that made it happen.

The awards will be announced on Twitter during a two-day event on June 10 & 11, and we’ve enlisted members of the media, PR Club sponsors, and past presidents to announce our Merit, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Bell recipients via video presentations. The approximate announcement schedule is below and categories will be announced every few minutes.

We hope you’ll tune in to the “ceremony,” and join us in congratulating all of this year’s winners!
