The Page Principles Award
The Page Principles Award honors an outstanding example of how the application of the Page Principles builds understanding between an organization and its constituencies, serving their mutual interests.
Award Criteria
The program selected for this award must represent one or more of the Page Principles in its development and/or implementation and demonstrate the critical importance of effective communications strategy and execution. The program should address a substantive challenge to the organization, and demonstrate how the effective use of the Page Principles generated constructive action and support from critical constituencies.
Who is Eligible for the Page Principles Award
Submissions will be accepted from all Arthur W. Page Society members on their own behalf. If a program is being submitted on behalf of a client, the client organization must be represented within the Arthur W. Page Society.
Judging Criteria
The judges will evaluate submissions according to the following criteria:
- Purpose, relevance and importance: The Page Society seeks to recognize a program (not an individual) that demonstrates the role of communications in issues critical to a company's success. The program's size, reach and involvement will be considered. A program with global application would score higher than one involving only a single plant community, for example.
- Role of communications as a key business strategy: This indicates the application of communications counsel in overall business strategy. Was the communications integrated with human resources, operations, law, and financial performance? What was the involvement of senior management?
- Application of Page Principles: The purpose of the award is to highlight the relevance of the Page Principles. A submission may involve the in-depth application of one principle employed in the planning and execution of the program, or a combination of several.
- Demonstration of strategic/creative thinking: High-level strategic thinking and breakthrough creativity should be evident in the program.
- Implementation: Programs that involve resourcefulness and new tactics in their execution will be given credit.
- Measurement and evaluation: Quantifiable results that document the return on the communications investment, of course, will be an important criteria.
