IABC/SC Palmetto Awards 2024
The IABC/SC Palmetto Awards happen annually and recognize exceptional communicators across South Carolina. All entries are judged and scored individually, not against one another, and can win either an award of Merit or Excellence with the highest scoring entry being crowned “Star of the Show.” In entering the Palmetto Awards, you not only have the chance to premier and benchmark your hard work against the best in the profession, but you also receive high quality feedback from our judges. These judges are seasoned communications professionals from around the world.
From internal communications to video production, our entries cover a multitude of communication types, and all categories can be found here.
What to Enter: Work implemented, published or broadcast between June 1, 2023 and Aug. 16, 2024. If a long-term strategy was developed prior to June 2021 and was not previously entered, it is eligible for entry. If you entered your work in 2022 or 2023 and it did not win an award, you may revise and re-enter your project as long as the work was implemented, published or broadcast between June 1, 2021 and the day of submission. Entries that have won in previous years may not be resubmitted.
