Welcome to NCMPR's 2024 District Medallion Awards!

The district Medallion Awards, sponsored by the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations, recognize outstanding achievement in design and communication at community and technical colleges in each of seven districts. The regional competition is exclusive to marketing and public relations professionals at two-year colleges.

NCMPR is the leading professional development organization for two-year college communicators. The organization provides regional and national conferences, webinars, a summer institute, relevant information on emerging marketing and PR trends, and connections to a network of more than 1,700 colleagues across the country. NCMPR is an affiliate council of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).
